Note: Something is wrong with Johns Hopkin's worldwide COVID-19 tracking updates...

[hlthe2b]

It seems to have reverted back to the data from several days (up to a week ago).

NYT seems to still have it right"

The coronavirus epidemic has sickened more than 135,400 people, according to official counts. As of Friday morning, at least 4,988 people have died, including 1,808 outside of mainland China. As the map below shows, infected people have been detected in at least 111 countries.

The JH site shows (this AM): 91,773 cases worldwide and 3,337 deaths.

Probably good to track a number of sites if you are tracking closely.


This group is using the latest technology to track US cases based on State Health Department (and local health department) findings in REAL time. I find it useful:

1. It's been hacked...

I just read about it half an hour ago, I'll look for the OP.

[Mike 03]

2. Yeah, I love the 1point3acres site!

It's updating every few minutes (but it does update in bursts). It shows more cases than the NYT US tracker and is updated much more frequently.

The DUer who posted it yesterday (maybe it was you) said it is the site most used by medical professionals, and it's easy to understand why.

[hlthe2b]

4. Yes. It was me. I've been seeing it discussed on medical boards/forums so quite a few are using it.

[Mike 03]

9. Thank you so much!

Sorry I couldn't recall exactly which DUer posted it.

3. It has issues every once in a while

I wouldn’t worry about it.

[hlthe2b]

7. I WOULD. It has been intentionally targeted/hacked. See below

Coronavirus-themed domain registrations 50% more likely to be from malicious actors; popular map tracking virus is targeted for malware

8. Thanks.. I was looking for it...

6. FWIW I can see no fresh statistics out of UK this morning. Ireland has 70 cases,

up 63% overnight.

Spain has approx. 4000, of which 2000 in Madrid. Regions are now locking down. When they close all the small bars here, you know it's serious.

10. Here is another site for tracking worldwide

11. It looks like the stopped counting total cum infected and have subtracted deaths and recoveries

Because US numbers at 1700 looks updated

[hlthe2b]

12. There would be zero justification for doing so. Everything right now is based on prevalence

(Combined 'ever' and new incident cases) given this is a novel emerging infection.

No, it appears that some hack has impacted them. See posts above.

13. I like that the 1point3acres site..

even lists the counties where the virus is in each state I think Johns Hopkins may have done that in the beginning, but no more.

14. there are a number of nations missing...

Italy, Germany and Spain to be specific.

that would greatly lower the numbers.

[hlthe2b]

15. They were there before. Apparently it was hacked and maybe they are trying to rebuild the dataset

[Javaman]

16. more than likely. nt

[MLAA]

18. I like this site. It show day to day changes by country. Just scroll down past the line graphs

19. the 1point3 site is impressive -- thanks

It's the most up to date site I've seen. Interesting that it says it was created by 1st generation Chinese immigrants in the US.

[LAS14]

22. The list of states is no longer there for me. Has it disappeared for you?

20. The # of cases showing up has flatlined

I’ve checked that site several times over the past 24 hrs and it’s barely changed. Needless to say I doubt the virus has suddenly stopped spreading.

[hlthe2b]

21. Read the thread. It is wrong and has apparently been hacked. Go to the NYT site.
