Covid-19 Links

This page is intended to provide useful information on the current pandemic. It is my intention to include only official or authoritative sites. Journalists and politicians need not apply.

Also, this list is shamelessly localized relative to my own community, Palo Alto, CA. Nevertheless a subset of these links may also be helpful for others (depending on how far away from Palo Alto you live).

When looking for general advice, I recommend you go directly to the CDC site, since many of the other organizations merely reflect what the CDC says.
