Okay, now I see those numbers in Safari on my iPhone. Pretty sure they
weren't visible Tuesday night. Below them are subheadings for the
other things That I guessed would be presented:  map with county
distributions, date of onset,  hospitalizations, number of infections
per 100,000, etc. Can't see any of that though.
Using Firefox and NVDA I get the same numbers Chip posted in texxt.
But it's a rather complicated application to get that info on the
screen. and it's all visual anyway. As the link says, it's "Data
Visualization." And it's still inaccessible.

this is of course at covid19.colorado.gov
