Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE
(An interactive web-based map to track coronavirus spread in real time)
Use this live interactive dashboard to track the 2019-nCoV coronavirus as it spreads throughout the globe. This real-time diagrammatic representation provides a two-way flow of information between your computer and Johns Hopkins visualization global case mapping tool.
Coronavirus Real Time Map (PC Version)
This live interactive dashboard created by The Center for Systems Science and Engineering at John Hopkins University (CSSE at JHU) transmits actual data directly to your device without delay. The corona-virus interactive map is updated 3 times daily, so you may need to refresh the page every few hours to get up-to-date, as-it-happens information. Data sources are obtained from the WHO (World Health Organization), CDC (USA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control), NHC (China National Health Commission - in Chinese) and DXY (Chinese online community for physicians, health care professionals, pharmacies and facilities - in Chinese).
This live coverage, fully interactive map of the world, displays the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, province/state, country and region, as well as the number of confirmed deaths and those people who have recovered from the virus.
The live mapping tool allows the user to zoom-in, zoom-out and panning abilities so as to locate your city or another location. When you find a geographical area on the interactive map, click on it to gain up-to-date information about that regions current stats on the coronavirus. Each point on the real-time map is updated as new corona-virus hotspots are identified.
To the right of the plan you will find charts identifying Total Deaths and Total Recovered in large numbers, deaths are in white numbers and recovered patients are in green numbers. Below the interactive map you will see a graph that identifies the total number of people infected with the disease (orange line-graph) and the total locations the virus has spread to (yellow line-graph).
We all know by now that the coronaviruses are a group of RNA viruses that can cause a multitude of diseases in humans. This most recent 2019 nCoV coronavirus is especially lethal and is known to cause pneumonia.
It is a good idea to use this live tracking tool so you can be prepared in the event this highly infectious virus starts to spread in your area of the world.
An interactive web-based dashboard to track COVID-19 in real time (Lancet Article)
In December, 2019, a local outbreak of pneumonia of initially unknown cause was detected in Wuhan (Hubei, China), and was quickly determined to be caused by a novel coronavirus, namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak has since spread to every province of mainland China as well as 27 other countries and regions. In response to this ongoing public health emergency, we developed an online interactive dashboard, hosted by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, to visualise and track reported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in real time. The dashboard, first shared publicly on Jan 22, illustrates the location and number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries for all affected countries. It was developed to provide researchers, public health authorities, and the general public with a user-friendly tool to track the outbreak as it unfolds. All data collected and displayed are made freely available, initially through Google Sheets and now through a GitHub repository, along with the feature layers of the dashboard, which are now included in the Esri Living Atlas...(Continue reading on Lancet Medical Journal website)
2019–20 Coronavirus outbreak (Wikipedia Article)
An ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, started in December 2019. It was first identified in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, China. As of 25 February 2020, around 80,298 cases have been confirmed, including in all provinces of China and more than two dozen other countries. Of these, 11,569 cases were classified as serious. There have been 2,706 deaths attributable to the disease, including 38 outside mainland China, surpassing that of the 2003 SARS outbreak. More than 27,000 people have since recovered...(Continue reading on Wikipedia website)
Mapping 2019-nCoV
By Lauren Gardner, January 23, 2020
Background
On December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was informed of an outbreak of “pneumonia of unknown cause” detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China – the seventh-largest city in China with 11 million residents. As of January 23, there are over 800 cases of 2019-nCoV confirmed globally, including cases in at least 20 regions in China and nine countries/territories. The first reported infected individuals, some of whom showed symptoms as early as December 8, were discovered to be among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market. Subsequently, the wet market was closed on Jan 1. The virus causing the outbreak was quickly determined to be a novel coronavirus. On January 10, gene sequencing further determined it to be the new Wuhan coronavirus, namely 2019-nCoV, a betacoronavirus, related to the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome virus (MERS-CoV) and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus (SARSCoV). However, the mortality and transmissibility of 2019-nCoV are still unknown, and likely to vary from those of the prior referenced coronaviruses...
