That is what's really showing on their site. You never know with the internet, but I have had them bookmarked for most of this year. They seem legit to me, but I haven't done any worthwhile investigation. They seem transparent about their credentials:
We are a group of public health and crisis experts. With former experience working at the White House, Department of Health and Human Services, and on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. We are a non-partisan group, having worked across multiple administrations. We built this site to track each state's progress towards stopping the spread of COVID-19.
Our focus is the data available on the ground and how we can surface it in meaningful ways for state and local leaders to act on.
This is a collaborative effort between individuals from a few organizations. We are always looking for feedback on how we can make this resource more useful. If you have suggestions, please send them our way.
