Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Tracker - Significant Update
My alma mater Johns Hopkins created a COVID-19 tracker toward the beginning of the pandemic that shows how many cases there are around the world. It breaks it down into "Confirmed, Deaths, Recovered, Active."

Up until today, it had only shown numbers by state, which is useful, but not as useful as it could be. I live in Southern Jersey, and while New Jersey has a lot of confirmed cases, most of them are in Northern Jersey.
That seems to have changed. It now breaks the numbers down by locality, which (1) shows just how much this virus has spread throughout the USA and (2) gives you a sense of what localities have been hit hardest and need the most support.
I say "sense," because we have no way to know how many actual cases there are.
Stay safe everybody. Let's hope we can slow this down sooner rather than later...
Those are very misleading. We just didn't have the tests early on to confirm just how many have it. Now that tests are becoming more available and testing has increased significantly, that number will naturally increase without giving and useful information about virus pathology.
Just about all experts are stating that the incidence rate is WAY higher than whats reported.
You know what concerns me? Over 370k confirmed cases worldwide, and only 100k have recovered. If the people that get really sick from it need weeks in the hospital instead of days, that's going to be a problem.
Look at the size of that Russia dot, baby!
I want to re-watch the most recent planet of the Apes movies and maybe 12 Monkeys during all of this.
Silver lining, at least we don't have to fight any damn dirty apes.
That sure is a significant update...the virus spreads. I can’t wait to find out if water is wet or dry.
Cant be accurate ...
How many people had the Virus that didnt know they had it ? People that never went to doctors or they just recovered from the Virus .These numbers were never included .The number can be from few to 1000s Therefore the numbers people are coming up with are not correct ....
Some reports say like 5% of the people have died from the virus .. they cant know this ,because many people that never reported them having the Virus did recover
Not sure how you were able to glean that info from this site. Not that it isn't a noble effort. Far as I can tell it is logging deaths only? Played with it for 5 minutes and couldn't quite figure it out. I have been trying best to track where this is spreading fastest. There simply has to be a county health official(s) tracking confirmed cases in every county in the US and entering them in a database. Updating constantly - to figure out where this thing is most prevalent. At this point in our existence this is very basic technology and effort to pull off. Very frustrating that it is not happening. I'm talking neighborhoods - zip codes - streets.
You can see provisional Michigan county data here.

Is this actually significant, or did you just want to tell us you went to Hopkins?
