The data shows your likelihood based off of location and the number of people. “We put this app together with the idea that you select of a location, a county in this case, and then there’s a display that shows the likelihood that someone at that event is likely contagious, based on the number of people at that event,” said Michael Porter, a UVA data scientist. Researchers behind the app say it is not foolproof, but the numbers show a best guess. It also does not reflect the people who have been vaccinated or may have immunity.

CLEMSON, SC – The Virginia Cavaliers trail top-ranked Clemson 24-10 at halftime. UVA quarterback Brennan Armstrong is 8-of-19 for 129 yards and the lone touchdown to Terrell Jana. The Tigers Trevor Lawrence has made 15 completions for 167 yards and 2 touchdown passes, both to Amari Rodgers.

Charlottesville, Va. – When last we saw UVA in competition, they were giving top-ten Florida all they wanted in the Orange Bowl. “It’s kind of a blessing in disguise, I mean all this time before our first game.
