#42I wish they also separated European countries by subnational jurisdiction. In the US they do it by cities, surely they should be able to separate Italian provinces, French departments and German states. They are reported like that in the news.

When talking about travelling options, the alternatives are trains and buses. In a train or bus station, the volume of people is several orders of magnitude larger, and you have to be in a confined space with many people for a long amount of time.
There is no risk zero option if you need to travel, but I agree with the original comment that travelling by car looks like the safest one.

No, people are instructed to self-quarantine merely for being exposed to an infected person. The large majority of those people are not expected to eventually test positive.
Burn two weeks of PTO when you may not even be sick. I wonder what the compliance rate is?
If you're lucky to even get PTO! :|

Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in your car. Possibly disinfectant wipes to sanitize your car’s surfaces frequently. Break the habit of flipping through your phone out in public, or start washing your phone frequently. When you touch public objects and then use your phone, your putting germs onto a glass surface where they can last for hours and studies show that phone screens get quite dirty.
Remember: the goal for the majority of people is to help slow the spread of this to protect the vulnerable. Good hygiene goes a long way.

Yes, the non-mobile version has a great layout and much more density of information on a single page (unsurprisingly). Does anyone know what the sources are for the data shown here?
The sources are listed in the bottom center section of the dashboard.
Thanks! From the blog post linked there posted on January 23: "Our primary data source is DXY, an online platform run by members of the Chinese medical community, which aggregates local media and government reports to provide COVID-19 cumulative case totals in near real-time at the province level in China and country level otherwise."
I'd surmise that it was the primary source since, at the time, the spread of the virus was still contained within China for the most part.

#46I've found it helpful to view this data as time series (so that trends are more apparent). This site uses this same dataset but shows historical trends per country/region:

#47Unfortunately garbage-in -> garbage-out. That chart shows US at 233 confirmed cases. According to NYT, over 10x that number are self-quarantined in NYC alone [1]. Now it's technically true that those cases aren't medically 100% factually confirmed, because NYC has only performed 35 tests total so far. But it gives a very inaccurate picture of reality. Garbage in, garbage out. 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/nyr…

From my perspective, if (whoever is in charge) was really in the business of providing accurate numbers, they would test a statistical sample of these 2,300 people to estimate what percentage of them actually have the virus.

In Seattle, there are not enough tests to test everyone diagnosed with the disease based on symptoms any more. So some patients are getting diagnosed with COVID-19, but if they are not in severe condition, they just get sent home without testing. These patients also don’t count toward the “confirmed” numbers.

I think you could get a paper towel and use that to cover your hand while you operate the gas pump. Or your sleeve. Yeah people might look at you like you’re paranoid. Tell them that only the paranoid survive.

#50Non-mobile version: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594...
The mobile version is actually sort of useless, because it has tabs at the bottom but it’s not scrollable so you can’t get to them.
