About

I am Brian O’Meara, a resident of Oak Ridge, TN; I grew up in Medford, MA, and have family there who wanted plots of covid info over time. You can see all the code used to make this site at https://github.com/bomeara/medfordma. Note that while I work in science, I am not an expert in epidemiology; this is just a compilation of others’ data. Talk to your healthcare provider for making health decisions.

Some of the data sources:

• Medford, MA, covid case counts
• US Health and Human Services
• State of Massachusetts covid data

Go to those sources for official information; this site just processes their data in ways to make it accessible to my family and perhaps others.

Some of the tools used:

• R along with many R packages
• github for hosting
• wget and curl for downloading data

Remember we are still in a pandemic. Get vaccinated to keep others and yourself safe: https://www.vaccines.gov/ to find vaccines.
