Sad to say, due to Trump.45’s consistent AIM (Arrogance, Incompetence, and Misinformation) we now have an American spreading wave of viral illness, with two known deaths on U.S soil in the last week, new case community spread in 11 states, significant negligence by CDC lab officials in botching test protocols and reagent manufacturing, and continued attempts by Administration overseer apologists to sugarcoat, deflect, and deny the plain facts more evident day by day. In short order Trump.45 will dearly wish there might have been only 5 cases and the virus would heat up and blow away in April.
His Corona Taskforce has amply demonstrated malfeasance and rot from the top, with officials busy coddling Trump.45’s fantasies, his electrical prospects, the tender ego of his ignorant jackass son as he was called out for partisan doltery, and all manner of other foolishness 100% removed from legitimate Public Health concerns all American now confront. Kumbaya.
Be that as it may, and will continue for weeks at least, America needs competent, reliable, fact-based accurate information to plan how we react together to weather this new viral assault.
Daily Worldwide COVID-19 Case Tracking
One of the best information tools for overall tracking in near real time comes to us courtesy of Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE). A private non-governmental organization stepping up to the plate with unvarnished, unbiased data. Facts man, just the facts. An amazing job.
Their interactive website is free, information packed, and easy to access. It is more current than CDC’s website, which seems to suffer from bureaucratic atherosclerosis, if there is not also some top-down information thumb scaling going on as well, say from Czar Pence’s 26-year-old press flack. Yes, this is the same website dummy Ken the Cutch asked for public help to find recently, despite his being a card-carrying member of the Vaunted Task Force.

Data sources: WHO, CDC, ECDC, NHC and DXY.
Point level: City level – US, Canada and Australia; Province level – China; Country level – other countries.
Existing cases = total confirmed – total recovered – total deaths.
Note: All cases of COVID-19 in repatriated US citizens from the Diamond Princess are grouped together, and their location is currently designated at the ship’s port location off the coast of Japan. These individuals have been assigned to various quarantine locations (in military bases and hospitals) around the US. This grouping is consistent with the CDC.
