COVID19 aka SARS-CoV2 aka 2019-NCorv

Here we go again...

In early January 2020 in Hong Kong, we started getting an indication of something spreading in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Within a few weeks, HK schools were on hiatus starting from the Chinese New Year holiday, and are still closed. This is a global pandemic now, and there are far better resources to track it than there were back during SARS.

During the early phases of this everyone referred to it as the 'Wuhan Coronavirus' because of the likely origins of it. The State controlled Chinese media have now jumped all over everyone using that phrase calling it racist, and attempting to claim that the virus may have come from somewhere else. Chinese ethno-nationalism is dangerous at the best oif times, and the inability of the Chinese state to admit to any mistake or wrongdoing is one of the direct causes of this pandemic.

Some external visualisations:

• University of Washington (Best and most up to date, I think)
• Johns Hopkins University.
• WHO map
• World O'Meters
• HK CHP

Here are some of my visualisations, made from the sources listed above. They're updated automatically, usually around once per day, as the new data comes in. (Note that I'm not forecasting here. This is the observed data, not a prediction. This is quite frankly, scary enough as it is, without extrapolating.

All Case Fatality Rates (not stacked) This is a hard graph to read. lines that don't change a lot are indicative of more reliable results.
