1. How many negative tests

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That we know of.

We have to assume there are many more because there's so little testing.

3. Looks like worldwide daily cases will hit 10k by the end of the day

Another 1st.

4. Johns Hopkins has different number--what gives?

5. The data are the same

The Worldometer site is updated hourly.

For example the number of US cases is now 2074

Thanks.

7. I have compared both sites

They used to be in agreementment within hours, with the worldometer being first - but things are moving so quickly know ...

8. Johns Hopkins, for unknown reasons DROPPED their US number by 433 confirmed cases since

I took a screenshot I took earlier when it read 1,701 cases. It now says 1,268

13. I noticed that between yesterday and today

And it is missing counts in states -- Florida for example -- that definitely have them.

14. Now it's 1992--

and missing the Kansas death. Mysterious.

[Lulu KC]

16. And now both sites are the same at 2499

It is indicative of my obsession level growing that I find this comforting.

10. Each site may use a different time zone as a reference? 2269 USA total

here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

This one uses GMT as it's reference.

Another dreadful factoid:

2,547 new cases and 250 new deaths in Italy. Highest number of deaths per day in the world ever (including China at its peak) has been reported in Italy in each of the last four days.

11. The US number has risen by 247 since I posted.

Worldometer appears to be updated almost continuously now.

The situation in Italy is described as "catastrophic triage"
Basically people are being left to die.

New cases in Spain rose by 2086
Their hospital system has not been overwhelmed yet.

I fear that the US like Hubei Province and Italy, will not be able to cope the with numbers. Without ventilators, people will be left to suffocate with pneumonia.
