Greetings all:
Are you looking for a COVID-19 Coronavirus statistics tracker that does not use graphs to show you the information? If you are, please read below a blog post from our friends at Vispero, the makers of JAWS for Windows, ZoomText, and Fusion. The post is written assuming you are a user of JAWS for Windows. It is nevertheless valuable to all of us.

Much of the available data
regarding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak is displayed on the web in a
graphical format. This makes it impossible to access for screen reader users ,
and may present issues for those using ZoomText or Fusion. Tyler Littlefield
seeks to solve this issue by creating a fully <https://cvstats.net/> accessible
COVID-19 statistics tracker, which provides critical information in a text
format that is easy to read and understand.
Navigating the Site
The data is broken down into categories that are displayed
as headings. By default, each heading is collapsed. Expand a heading by
pressing SPACEBAR. This action displays the corresponding statistics for that
category, which can be read by pressing the DOWN ARROW key. Collapse a heading
by pressing SPACE again.
The headings include:
· Global stats
· Country stats
· Breakdown of states in the United States
· Change log
The information displayed under the headings for Country
stats and the Breakdown of states in the United States is displayed in tables. Once
you have entered a table using JAWS or Fusion, you can navigate these tables in
either of the two following ways.
· Hold down the CTRL and ALT keys
simultaneously and use the ARROW KEYS to move a cell at a time.
· Activate Table Navigation using the Layered command
feature. Press INSERT+SPACE to enter Layered Mode, then T to turn on
Table Navigation.
While in this layered mode you can:
· Move by cell using the Arrow Keys.
· Move to the beginning or end of a row by
pressing CTRL+UP ARROW or CTRL+DOWN ARROW.
· Move to the beginning or end of the row using HOME
or END.
· Move to the first or last cell in a table using CTRL+HOME
or CTRL+END.
· Read the current row with SHIFT+UP ARROW.
· Read the current column with SHIFT+NUM PAD 5.
The table layer will remain active while these commands are
used.
Press ESC to exit the table layer.
The change log provides the most recent updates regarding site
accessibility. Submit questions or leave feedback using the information found
under the Contact heading.
