I find this one much more intelligible: https://covid19info.live/
Better presentation, but laggy: At this writing, no 03/06 data. Johns Hopkins is complete through 03/06:

This dashboard is not intended to visualize computed estimates from models. It tracks the official confirmed cases, which is a very different and useful piece of data. You are unfair by stating it is garbage and misrepresenting what it shows (confirmed cases vs. estimated cases).
What's garbage is the US response to it. Italy is running 2500 tests a day. Oregon has the capacity to run a total of about 40.
Agreed. Seems like people in Oregon choose to mostly ignore the issue

It's not just Oregon; that's just a number I saw this morning in the local paper, but I suspect it's similar everywhere. The US did not use the advance warning we had to prepare.

You are right but unfortunately almost everyone calculates the mortality rate based on confirmed cases alone, and that leads to a gross over-estimation of the dangerosity of this virus. So these visualisations are still kind of misleading in a way.
Isn't that true of all flu viruses, every year? Meaning this measure is still valid to compare with other flu epidemics. So that leaves this one at 10X or more fatalities, however you calculate it.
I am not sure. Looking at the CDC website [1], it looks like they extrapolate cases for the flu. They seem to estimate that roughly half of the people contaminated with the flu do not see a doctor (I would have guessed the numbers would be even lower, I had the flu a couple of times, it didn't even cross my mind to see a doctor).

CDC’s lackluster response is absolutely confounding. One could suspect political involvement, but I can’t see who would stand to benefit.
Wasn't the CDC budget cut drastically by the current administration? You reap what you sow.
Well Congress is the ones who actually pass the budget so no?

#116Unfortunately 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…
New York Times? Are they like world-class science researchers like John Hopkin Institute or are they just a bunch of shady journalists with a fantasy narrative that they desperately need to maintain?

No, the budget was not cut.

#118This map seems effectively useless in the US, given absence of meaningful testing. Frontline nurses, treating COVID-19 patients , are having their tests stonewalled and delayed by the CDC: https://act.nationalnursesunited.org/page/-/files/graphics/N... I’ve seen multiple people referencing it to prove the absence of real threat in the US, which seems beyond absurd at this point.
Thanks for the link -- great insight to facts on the ground. Next link to snap may be hospitals in cash-flow crisis, like this one:

And here's why it was already so close to the edge:

Nope this was misinformation sowed for political purposes: https://apnews.com/d36d6c4de29f4d04beda3db00cb46104

Georgia ran 50 tests yesterday. And that's after only 3 positive results so far. All states not equally dysfunctional.
