Those utilizing the map can set the excepted event size, which ranges from 10 to 10,000 people and see the level of incidence of encountering a COVID-19 positive individual.

The researchers pull the data from the COVID Tracking Project from The Atlantic.

The map allows people from around the country to see how their state measures up compared to others.
