It was a record weekend of COVID-19 cases in Arizona with over 50,000 new cases reported since Jan. 22. And on Saturday and Sunday, over 120 more fatalities were added. The state may reach 26,000 this week, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Arizona has the second-highest death rate in the nation.Monday figures do tend to be lower and as of Jan.

Colorado’s omicron variant-driven surge in coronavirus infections is obliterating daily records in the state, leading to the most dizzying spike of the pandemic.

The number of people hospitalized with coronavirus infections in Colorado fell slightly Thursday, offering a bit more breathing room to the state’s overloaded hospitals.

Apr 21, 2021 Building a machine learning model to filter analyze 120 million tweets showed researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory how COVID-19 conspiracy theories evolved over time. The tool could someday help public health officials combat misinformation online, lab representatives said. “We wanted to create a more cohesive understanding of how misinformation changes as it spreads,” said Courtney Shelley, a postdoctoral researcher in the Information Systems and Modeling Group at the...

This image shows the change in word importance over time for tweets related to the Bill and Melinda Gates conspiracy theory. In the top panel, the x-axis represents time while the y-axis shows important words. Color represents the importance of words, with darker color indicating higher importance. In the bottom panel are word clouds for each topic. Word size corresponds to word weight (higher weighted words appear larger). Credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory A new machine-le...
