Other real-time tracking of R_t

[Scott Bartell]

It's really great to see someone tackling this for the US, but there is another project tracking R_t in real time using Bayesian updating, in Europe: https://mrc-ide.github.io/covid19estimates/#/ Their model is more structured, but that has pros and cons. I really like that your model is less constrained with regard to how R_t changes over time, as behavior can change rapidly as people become more cautious, start wearing masks, etc. But you might get some other ideas about modeling from their approach.
