Try the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). They have what you are looking for, for a large set of countries. On top of that you will in part be able to identify family ties, and you can even get access to geo-coded data. The data has answers to an extensive questionnaire.
You have to "apply" to get the data. But that is just a formality -- even ...

It sounds like you're looking for a line listing. There are no case data available for this outbreak, but like Skram said, I collect and maintain data from various sources on github. Sierra Leone and Liberia release some case data on the province/county level; Liberia's data is quite good. The WHO used to include town names for Guinea, but it has since ...

A few thoughts:
For a simple and down to the point description, Brian's suggestion of MedlinePlus' Web Services is a good start however if you do a search such as http://wsearch.nlm.nih.gov/ws/query?db=healthTopics&term=Levodopa you'll notice that it returns generic information about Parkinkson's disease and not this more appropriate page at http://www....

Okay, this is a very specific dataset for the !Kung San people, but it has height, weight, sex, and age fields. Reference was found in McElreath:

Howell in the late 1960s."

Did you try the World Health Organization?

Looks like July 1, 2014 is when they started providing the chart data. The data gets updated every few days.

Also take a look at https://github.com/cmrivers/ebola . Caitlin Rivers (@cmyeaton on Twitter) is a PhD student in computational epidemiology and is curating this data from a number of sources.

Not sure if my list is better (or worse), because I think it has a lot to do with Andrew's question about national/state levels. If Andrew says it's cool, I'll just have him update his answer with these links:

Let's try to follow the sources one by one:
Trust for America's Health has obesity ranks (sense probably inverted compared to the graphic) and the proportion (%) of obese people per state, directly linked from their homepage.
U.S. Census American Community Survey should have this data. They have per-state transport mode usage statistics.
Streetsblog is both ...

The NIH has published the UMLS database, which consists of more than 7 million concepts, diseases and symptoms. It's a very wealthy resource. The license is pretty permissive if you are working in the United States. Check it out on the UMLS website. It's completely free and curated by the National Library of Medicine.

Your question is so general it's hard to be sure I'm answering it correctly. More detail would be quite helpful. Here's a stab, though:
If you're looking for datasets that are already open and are fairly standard social science data, I would look at what ICPSR holds. They have several datasets, in particular this one, contributed by Jens Ludwig at UChicago.

At this point Wikipedia will have most of the information but not yet machine readable. For a broad data-request on global lockdowns of varying degree, and for an ongoing event, I can't image a machine readable dataset yet.

One example would be using school closures, for which there is a ...
