COVID-19 has engulfed our lives and forced us under lockdown over the past couple of months. A lot of COVID-19 case trackers have since popped up on the Internet to help netizens keep track of the current situation. Instagram co-founders Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom have also stepped up to the occasion and launched a COVID-19 tracker called RT.live.
In a recent chat with Bloomberg, Systrom stated, “We’re trying to take what is a complex topic and boil it down to a simple number that anyone can view from their home.” RT.live uses data from The Covid Tracking Project, which is a volunteer organization dedicated to collecting and publishing COVID-19 outbreak numbers.
