  I think https://www.coronawiki.org/ https://www.coronawiki.org/ uses that data to visualize it.

For global numbers, the WHO daily situation reports: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/ https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2... The same data is also presented graphically here: https://www.who.int/redirect-pages/page/novel-coronavirus-(covid-19)-situation-dashboard https://www.who.int/redirect-pages/page/novel-coronavirus-(c...

I recently had to deal with this problem when building out Covidly (www.covidly.com) Initially I tried using WHO and JHU, but quickly found their data to be riddled with discrepancies, occasional bugs, and direct contradictions with official statements from various countries. I ended up aggregating multiple sources (including WHO/JHU/etc), performing some sanity checks to remove outliers, then doing my best to merge the remaining results. Happy to share this data publicly if there's interest!

  I am a researcher, and I fail to find detailed data, please help! In all datasets we see cumulative confirmed, recovered and death numbers organized by day. We would need culumative confirmed by onset time (first symptoms), and confirmed by test time (the current value). We would also need recovered and death by onset time and confirmation time. Where are these numbers?
  - MrAlexey 7y ago
    Unfortunately the existing public data sets I've seen lack this information. The level of detail for each confirmed case is largely dependent on which country is reporting the data (plus it's often in an unstructured and inconsistent format). I would love to know if you find any data source with more details.

  "Explosive growth" and "Virus is largely out of control" is dangerous risk communication. How often are you updating the data? If there's manual deconfliction, do you clearly indicate how old data for a country or state/province is, or how accurate the reporting is that your massaged summary comes from? If you're meaning to put this out in the world as a source of information please get some feedback first from people that do this sort of thing for a living. Inaccuracy or excitable language can do more harm than good in emergencies.

    You make a very good point about risk communication. I already had to make a few updates (e.g. hiding the mortality rate) that were causing unnecessary panic. I'll work on optimizing the existing language as well. Regarding the data, it's updated and processed automatically every 10 minutes. I really appreciate the feedback! Let me know if anything else stands out to you.
