Noticed that a bunch of #redistricting-minded people and orgs are also doing work related to the #COVID19 response. Here's a thread listing what I'm aware of from #redistricting software shops/groups with >10 employees—plus other people's work that caught my attention. 1/
Folks from @Azavea (maker of @DistrictBuilder) are working on CovidCareMap, mapping hospital bed capacity nationally. Credit to Azaveans @lossyrob, @jefffrankl, @SimonKassel, @mouthofmorrison … maybe others, too? 2/ https://twitter.com/mouthofmorrison/status/1242481745624289283
Folks from @gerrymandr, aka MGGG, (maker of Districtr) have been working on something cool that's yet to be officially launched AFIAK, so I won't link to it here, but stay tuned! 3/
Caliper Corporation, maker of @Maptitude for #Redistricting, has been posting near-daily custom maps related to the disease's spread in the lower 48. 4/ https://twitter.com/Maptitude/status/1245032864741314561
The GIS software behemoth @Esri, which has their own #redistricting solution, has COVID-19 mapping dominating their home page, as well as a full page of links to free dashboards and other resources (as well as tools they sell). 5/ https://www.esri.com/en-us/covid-19/overview
Further, @oliviawalch, a repeated depicter/distiller of #gerrymandr events and topics (e.g. ⬇️), appears to have been involved in the still-to-be-officially-launched MGGG effort. 6/ https://twitter.com/oliviawalch/status/894581335959851010
And @maiamajumder, whom I met at the initial #gerrymandr/ @gerrymandr event, has been super-involved, including leading on ⬇️. Check out her feed for more. 7/ https://twitter.com/maiamajumder/status/1244467775432790016
I'll append to this thread once with launches and new discoveries—if you're aware of similar #redistricting + #COVIDー19 overlap, please LMK. 9/
