No idea what's up.

He is an amazing person.

6. this is shit ass scary

reply from the owner of the site.

"We are aware of it. Due to the government...Thank you to like the page. Please invite your friends and ask them to like Avi Schiffmann as well. Let's spread peace."

7. Totally down now.. What on earth does this mean?

He's using publicly available source data, for heavens sakes. Why would anyone be pressuring him to close down or delete data?

Just an ambitious high school kid, for heavens sakes.

9. that sounds ominous

Due to the government? Did Dump not like all this good data getting out?

[Ms. Toad]

11. There are at least a dozen sites that provide the exact same information.

There is no basis in reality to assume that the government suppressed an aggregation of data provided by the government on one site, and left all others to continue to provide it.

[Ms. Toad]

10. Please don't spread this rumor.

It is ridiculous to think that the government targeted one site - out of a dozen or so - that provide the exact same information.

An unsubstantiated assertion that it was "due to the government," without more, is not a reasonable basis for spreading a rumor that the government is suppressing an independent site that merely aggregates government provided information in the same way that a dozen or more siges also aggregate the same information.

ETA: Here is a much more likely reason:

Contact your hosting provider letting them know your web server is not completing requests. An Error 522 means that the request was able to connect to your web server, but that the request didn't finish. The most likely cause is that something on your server is hogging resources. Additional troubleshooting information here.

It has been reported that this is the most popular site. If that is, indeed, the case it is far more likely that the number of site visits is "hogging resources," and the commercial vendor shut it down - or throttled it than that the government shut down the site.

8. It's been down a couple days, everytime I've checked. n/t

[Vodid]

12. Hallelujah, it's back up!

I like this site, because it's the most clear, basic, "just the facts ma'am", of the statistics of Covid-19. I'm SO GLAD it's back up!

[hlthe2b]

14. Yes. Its interphase is the cleanest, though other sites offer more information.

13. No CT needed. The site is back up and the young man who runs it simply apologizes for it being down
