The COVID Tracking Project, launched by The Atlantic, collects and publishes data required to understand the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, including data on race and ethnicity needed to understand health inequities in the outbreak.

Atlantic Monthly journalists Alexis C. Madrigal and Erin Kissane join JAMA's Q&A series to describe the project and their experience developing a database for fact-based health reporting on the pandemic.
