News just reported the number of cases on the floating petried dish just tripled in the last 24 hours.
That's a bad place to be.

China is fudging numbers as usual, be it coronavirus or their economy.

Numbers China will provide over the next few days to suit their model.
09/02/2020 38675 cases 808 fatalities
10/02/2020 43084 cases 900 fatalities
11/02/2020 47733 cases 997 fatalities
Not my work but an interesting observation.
Where is he sourcing his data from? It just seems like he is collating data from commonly available sources without verifying their veracity.

While the John Hopkins website posted above is shown everywhere on Youtube, there's 3 problems I see with it:
1. It's not up-to-date as other sources (see link below that will)
2. They don't include links to their sources (see link below that will)
3. They don't provide an easy way to see how many cases are "recovered, serious, or critical" conditions. (see link below that will)

Is there another source of information?
Yes.
Here's what I believe to be a better source, that solves all those 3 problems above:

This is monitored by BNO News => is an international news agency headquartered in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
Also, they have a very active Twitter account, and people are always tweeting them (including myself) new information as it breaks.
I can see that they're updating the website constantly, every 5min or so.
As you can see, the current number of cases is different than John Hopkins website.
That Youtube Livestream and many, many, many similar livestreams are all going to:

The source of that website:
Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering using data provided by the World Health Organization, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S., the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, and Dingxiangyuan, a social networking site for health care professionals that provides real-time information on cases.

The idea that fatalities are 2% is not correct. Fatalities are of victims who became ill 10 days or more ago when there were far fewer infections. The actual death rate is probably 8 or 10%. This data could be disclosed, but it is not. It could be worked out by medical statisticians outside China, but authorities are trying to prevent panic. Meanwhile all Chinese nationals are being denied access to cruise ships without regard to whether they have been in China recently.
Whether you think data reported by Chinese gvn't is correct or false is a personal opinion. I think the *consensus* online is that Chinese gvn't are under-reporting data. Given Chinese gvn't track-record so far, I'm not surprised. I do think that Chinese gvn't is under-reporting, as well.I would disregard the Chinese data for the time being.
Hopkin's site uses the same source as BNOnews (see my post above), so I don't see a difference of overall credibility. Both are credible. I do like BNONews more, as they seem to be more transparent with their sources and data, and are generally faster to report statistics. But I see no reason to doubt Hopkins data, as it's verified by US CDC, WHO, etc.Hopkins is a lot more trustworthy at this point/

GENEVA, Feb 8 (Reuters) - The head of a World Health Organization-led international team investigating the coronavirus outbreak will leave for China on Monday or Tuesday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. Tedros, asked whether the team would include experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), told a press conference on Saturday: “We hope so.”
