Coronavirus.app

@ludwig_stumpp Not true. 2019-nCov already has more confirmed cases than SARS in a much shorter timeframe, China has quarantined the largest area in recent history, and actual numbers are likely to be way higher given the shortage of testing kits and effort to process those deceased outside hospitals. The virus has HIV inserts never seen in a coronavirus before (See https://www.biorxiv.org/content/...) and that makes containment measures much harder. The incubation period is likely not just two weeks. It doesn't matter if people affected right now show no symptoms at all – what matters is what they, and the people they've spread the virus to – will look like in the next 60 days. Saying we know it won't get a lot worse it a false statement.

@ludwig_stumpp add to the fact that they only report the deaths, not that almost there's going to be more people recovered than are dead

@fbwlm The paper was almost immediately withdrawn. HIV inserts are spurious. 2 of 4 are found in bat coronavirus. Of the remaining two, only one is most similar to HIV, and is so short (6 AA) that the similarity is not higher than chance given database. https://twitter.com/SKonermann/s...

@ludwig_stumpp Were you saying?

@ludwig_stumpp @youcedom ikr..

@kbasset thanks for building this much needed :)

@kbasset really well executed UX/UI, nice work

@kbasset why do you get the data?

@kbasset @carlosecgomes I agree

@kbasset great job. Why is the site down?

@parag_r Thank you!

@paulanderie Vanilla javascript on the client with a couple of open source libraries for the charts (charts.js) and the map (openLayers). We host the app on Firebase and use node.js on the server.

@riknieu Thank you for the kind words!

@riknieu @kbasset magical

@edisonjoao6871 Thanks for the comment ! Last update was 11 hours ago because there hasn't been new cases reported officially since then. In general, we'll add new cases to the map within a couple of hours, often faster. The last update of the map you posted was 13.5 hours ago. Absolutely agree with you regarding people recovering -- and this is actually a great sign! That number is just as important as the number of deaths. That's why we display both numbers with equal importance on the app.
