Gun Violence Report and Respiratory Illness Dashboard Released

Gun Violence Report Released

We released a new data snapshot on gun violence in Dane County this fall. Providing updated data helps our Violence Prevention team and community partners make decisions about priorities, and advocate for policy changes. Learn more about the data by checking out the report. Please note that this report contains data on sensitive topics, including suicide. 

Dane County Respiratory Dashboard Launched

We launched the new Dane County Respiratory Illness Dashboard in October. This dashboard blends many data sources together to convey, in as real-time as possible, the current state of respiratory viruses in our community. Get main takeaways like levels and trends of COVID and flu, and trends in other respiratory viruses, including the common cold rhinovirus. We’re also collaborating with researchers to give you some cutting-edge data on school absences and results from using air sampling machines!

Check out our blog post to learn all about how this dashboard can help you make decisions about your health! Use it to decide when to wear a mask in public, adjust travel plans, keep immunocompromised loved ones safer, or encourage loved ones to get up to date with their vaccines—or just to know what illnesses are circulating.
