The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Subject: [Chapter-Presidents] CVStats: an accessible Covid19 statistics site


CVStats is an accessible website for displaying Covid19 data for those who
are blind or visually impaired. When the pandemic began and still to this
day, most news sources and articles display data in graphs, or as a type of
visual representation that is hard, if not impossible for those using screen
readers or who are low vision to understand. My goal in creating this site
was to find a way to gather data that people might find useful and present
it in a form that is easy to read, understand and navigate.

To date, the site currently enables viewing data as a global set of
statistics, by state in the United States, and by county in the United
states, with more to come. I accept feature requests (although I may not be
able to complete them given that I also work a full job), but I will do my
best, as well as comments and issues.

Please visit
https://cvstats.net

I hope this resource is useful to you, and please feel free to share this
with anyone you feel might be able to make use of it.

Stay Safe,

Ty

Tyler has asked me to circulate the below message. This is a very useful
sight, and he has done a good job of making a difficult presentation
completely accessible to screen reader users.
