NEWS FLASH! January 14, 2021 version of the files are now available.
I'm in the process of developing teaching material about COVID-19, and related material about public health, and health systems.
Every time I update and correct the material, the Google Drive address for my new file changes. I need a place to post a DRAFT PowerPoint presentation that serves as my outline on this material so that colleagues can find and review the latest draft. It's gotten a little large and I've now divided it into to sections. CLICK HERE to download Part 1 and CLICK HERE to download Part 2.
Even split in half, the files are rather large, around 300 MB each last time I checked. So you probably want to do a right click "save as" to download it to your hard drive, then open it (rather than open it directly in your browser). It might be a little much for a phone...
For those who still have trouble downloading, here's a pdf version, slides only. CLICK HERE to download Part 1 and CLICK HERE to download Part 2. No notes -- which means you lose some commentary, maybe more importantly lots of info on the sources of the data and many of the graphics. And the resolution is a little lower. But this one's only 10 percent of the size of the native PowerPoint.

Some of the slides present metropolitan/micropolitan data on U.S. COVID-19 cases and deaths for the top 40 places, and some charts of the full dataset of several hundred places. If you want to examine the full dataset in Excel, download it here.
Latest version of the full deck (in two parts) is dated March 20, 2021. Still rough, still needs proofing, references, lots of work. You can help! My email address can be found in the slides.
The style is extremely informal, partly because the audience I have top of mind is an undergraduate class. I also mention here that I don't shy away from some discussion of the failures of the current administration, and others, to address the pandemic effectively. If you find those slides not to your taste, or inappropriate for your class, just delete them.
Nobody ever teaches the entire deck, including me. Select those you want. Feel free to modify any of these slides as needed for your own classes or presentations. Just be sure to continue to use them for instructional purposes, "fair use."
Be sure to read the caveats at the beginning of the presentation!
