On the "how is the fight going within the US?" side of things, fivethirtyeight.com has some really good state-by-state charts in an article that unfortunately frames the issue politically, so I'm not linking it here. In spite of the framing, the data tells the story in a helpful way for just keeping track of the fight in your state and others.
For example, I live in a state with the 4th-highest rate of detected cases per capita, so yikes. But, looking at this chart, I can also see that we have the slowest increase of detected cases in the nation (at least over the last 3 days), so whew, there's a silver lining (did you see what I did there?). Meanwhile, most of my family lives in a state with a lowish rate of detected cases, and a middling increase in detected cases, so not so bad. But man, New York is in a bad state right now, in spite of the fact that they seem to have successfully slowed the increases quite a bit.
