Speed matters to a degree. A lot of resources around, including the ones linked in the Wolfram documents, are outdated by number of days or do not disclose when was the series for a region updated last. For instance, as I am writing this on March 12, Wolfram says last update is March 11. It lists Sweden with 355 cases. That number is actually from March 10 and the actual value should be 500 for March 11 and 565 as of now. It also does not give you sources for changes so you don't get an idea of where these cases are. Both BNO and worldometers give these sources. To me personally it is important to know what the growth is in my neighbourhood rather than in the whole country.
For the same reason, I am not looking at the map so I do not care that much that it is outdated. It conveys zero information about the geographic distribution of new cases/deaths within most countries. I am yet to see a resource for the whole world that is as detailed as what China/SK/SG have.
And before I am told that I should just look at local news. I am an expat with family and friends scattered across Europe. I want to know what's the risk for them in one place not 5.
