En marzo del 2020 la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) calificó de pandemia la propagación del SARS-CoV-2, el nuevo coronavirus detrás del COVID-19.

¿Cuántas personas se han contagiado por COVID-19?

Desde entonces más de 295 millones de personas en todos los continentes tuvieron la enfermedad, la cual ha provocado 5.5 millones de muertes. Estados Unidos lidera el número de casos a nivel mundial con 57 millones y más de 830,000 muertes.

La llegada de las vacunas trajo esperanza en 2021 y muchos veían para el verano un notable decrecimiento de casos, pero el aparecimiento de la peligrosa variante Delta y de la altamente contagiosa variante Ómicron pospuso las expectativas de poner fina a la pandemia.

About The Project

Solutions Journalism Network launched the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative in 2019, a partnership of six major media companies and other local institutions focusing on issues of major importance to the Charlotte region. The collaborative is supported by $150,000 from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its $300 million commitment to rebuild the future of local journalism, essential to a functioning democracy.

The Charlotte Journalism Collaborative (CJC) is modeled on the Solutions Journalism Network method of investigating and reporting news with a primary focus on solutions to community problems. “At a time when local journalism jobs are disappearing and trust in media has hit an all-time low, the Solutions Journalism Network has taken on the challenge by organizing collaborative journalism reporting projects that promote excellent reporting and civic dialogue. the model has the potential to be part of a new wave of great local reporting, which is vital to building strong communities,” said Karen Rundlet, Knight Foundation director for journalism.
