100 Notable Books of 2019

Featuring characters mostly drawn from life confronting illness, loss, violence and death, this exquisite collection of pieces defies classification, blending intuition and observation into something unaccountably yet undeniably real. Featuring works from a diverse selection of writers, the collection explores issues of power, agency and identity. This elegant novel resonates with implication beyond the taut contours of its central story line. This — the funny and sad tale of a great lesbian writer’s struggle to find herself — is deftly told, and the spare illustrations are infused with idiosyncrasy and energy. Moreno-Garcia immerses readers in the rich world of 19th-century Mexico, exploring colonialism and resistance in a compulsively readable story of a woman’s coming-of-age. The result is a book that reads like a prose poem, at once sublime, profane, intimate, philosophical, witty and, eventually, deeply moving. “The novel’s extended, layered denouement is so heart-smashingly good, it made me late for work,” Randy Boyagoda wrote in his review. Gonzalez’s thoughtful story grapples with questions of how to break free from a mother’s manipulations, from shame, from pride indistinguishable from fear, from abandonment, from oppression and from greed. But when the novel’s messy triangular romance — between two trans characters and a cis-gendered woman — becomes an unlikely story about parenthood, the plot deepens, and so does its emotional resonance: a poignant and gratifyingly cleareyed portrait of found family. Here are the novels our columnist loved most. This graphic novel alternates between black-and-white and overwhelming colors as it explores the mundane and the horrific. The nine stories in this deeply personal, frankly funny and illuminating debut — published eight months after the author’s death at age 28 — are all set in California’s Central Valley, and follow the legacies of the Cambodian genocide among the diaspora who resettled there. This of purportedly found documents, including journals and biographical interludes, takes on this psychological mystery while exploring through its nested narratives the possibilities of fiction. In Bump’s engrossing new novel, a young Black couple, mourning the loss of their newborn daughter and disillusioned with the world, start a utopian society —  but tensions both internal and external soon threaten their dreams. This is her memoir of their tumultuous early years building a life in an unfamiliar and mostly inhospitable place.

COVID-19 Update: Greene County, Alabama Data Challenges

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, tracking and reporting cases, deaths, and hospitalizations has become increasingly complex, particularly in smaller regions like Greene County, Alabama. While the New York Times has traditionally provided up-to-date charts and maps for coronavirus statistics, recent changes in reporting practices have made this information less readily available.

In May 2023, Alabama stopped reporting data on COVID-19 cases, creating a significant gap in the state's public health information. This decision has affected the ability to provide accurate, real-time data for individual counties, including Greene County.

The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) previously maintained a data portal that offered daily updates on cumulative case counts since March 2020. This information was crucial for tracking the progression of the virus across the state and in specific counties. However, with the cessation of regular reporting, the landscape of COVID-19 data collection and dissemination has dramatically changed.

Despite these challenges, some data is still being collected and reported by participating hospitals and clinics throughout Alabama. This information is processed electronically in near real-time, providing a partial picture of the current situation. However, it's important to note that this data may not be as comprehensive or consistent as previous reporting methods.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to collect and publish some COVID-19 data, which can offer insights into the broader trends in Alabama and potentially in Greene County. However, the granularity and timeliness of this data may not match the county-level detail previously available.

For residents of Greene County and other parts of Alabama seeking current information on COVID-19, it's recommended to consult multiple sources, including local health departments, healthcare providers, and national health organizations. While detailed, daily updates may no longer be available, these sources can still provide valuable guidance on the overall state of the pandemic in the region.

As we navigate this new phase of pandemic data reporting, it's crucial to remember that the absence of detailed daily reports does not necessarily indicate the end of COVID-19 as a public health concern. Continued vigilance, adherence to any current health guidelines, and staying informed through reliable sources remain important for maintaining community health in Greene County and beyond.
Based on the provided context, here's an article on the latest coronavirus data for Greene County, Alabama:

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, staying informed about local case numbers, hospitalizations, and deaths remains crucial for public health awareness. This article provides an overview of the current situation in Greene County, Alabama, based on the most recent available data.

Data Collection Challenges

It's important to note that gathering accurate and up-to-date COVID-19 data has become increasingly challenging. The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) stopped reporting data on Covid cases in May 2023, which has created gaps in the information available to the public.

Current Data Sources

Despite these challenges, several sources continue to track and report COVID-19 statistics:

1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides data on cases, deaths, and hospitalizations at the county level.

2. Participating hospitals and clinics throughout Alabama report data electronically in near real-time, offering insights into current hospitalization trends.

3. USAFacts, a non-profit organization, collects and presents COVID-19 data from various official sources.

Greene County Statistics

While specific, current numbers for Greene County are not provided in the context, readers can access the latest charts and maps through reputable sources such as the CDC and USAFacts. These resources typically include:

1. Total cumulative cases since March 2020
2. New cases reported daily
3. Current hospitalizations
4. Total deaths attributed to COVID-19
5. Vaccination rates

Historical Data Analysis

To understand the progression of the pandemic in Greene County, three key metrics have been tracked:

1. Cases by date of infectiousness
2. Cases by date reported to ADPH
3. Raw tracking of the cumulative case count

These metrics help illustrate how the virus has spread over time and can inform public health decisions.

Importance of Continued Monitoring

Although comprehensive data reporting has decreased, monitoring available statistics remains vital for:

1. Identifying potential outbreaks
2. Guiding public health policies
3. Informing individual decision-making regarding precautions and vaccinations

Conclusion

While the landscape of COVID-19 data reporting has changed, resources are still available for those seeking information about the pandemic's impact on Greene County, Alabama.
