forwarding comments that came to another email, meant for Dept Health and city.
We're all working to "flatten the curve" locally but we are never shown our local curve. I think it would be really
helpful if county officials could share that data with the community daily as John's Hopkins does for each country
around the world. I'm talking about plots of total cases over time and daily reported cases over time. Then people
can be engaged in this process where it matters- right here in Gallatin county, and see whether or not our efforts are
working. Otherwise we are all working towards an important goal but receiving no meaningful feedback on our
progress. That's a very simple dataset that should be very easy to communicate.
