Here’s a nice set of “small multiple” charts examining the result of social distancing measures undertaken in US cities during the 1918 flu pandemic, by Nina Strochlic and Riley Champine at National Geographic

> People in Florida and elsewhere continued to travel widely last week, potentially exposing more people to the coronavirus, phone data shows.
(With the caveat in interpreting the data that obviously people in the middle of a dense city are better able to reduce their total distance traveled than someone living in a rural village. I wonder if there are any better data sources for indicating how much person-to-person contact is happening.)

Hi everyone! Any chance I can have this notebook included in the Coronavirus folder?
