- Coronavirus variant data from USA TODAY: The CDC doesn’t publish a time series of its counts of COVID-19 cases caused by variants.

The time series goes back to early January.
- Documenting COVID-19: This repository is one of several great resources brought to my attention during this past week’s NICAR conference.
