There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“We highlight the fact that these sort of regional-level risks have shifted,” says Georgia Institute of Technology quantitative biologist Joshua Weitz, coauthor of a new paper in Nature Human Behaviour describing the map system. “In late summer it was in the South, Southeast. And late spring and early summer, the Northeast. So there's definitely been regional shifts. And right now, the strongest and most worrisome rates of spread are in the Midwest plains and upper mountain region.”
