When did that happen? Was different by a lot just two hours ago. Maybe the John Hopkins AI needs remedial math or maybe it has a virus of its own now.
In other related news, how China tracked the virus spread using AI and big data from smartphones.

The extra 2.5 million are in Italy. Click on the city,state/province tab. Still think it is an oops.
Darned Italians!
From discord:
Hello! We are testing new features in the #Covid_19 dashboard. It may look weird for a while. No panic and be patient. Thanks! u/JHUCaSE u/JohnsHopkins #coronavirus #COVIDー19
No appears to be completely broken, so someone probably pushed some bad code. Stand down red alert!

If we're only in the the low millions of confirmed cases by the apex of the outbreak, I'll be very happy... I'm more worried that by the end of the month they'll be changing the map to display the number of uninfected for simplicity sake. OK, I'm not completely serious in that... but now that we're actually going to broadly test here finally, it will be interesting to see how problematic the initial CDC testing restrictions were. I'm going with "extremely disastrous" as an initial estimate. 
That's good... now the bigger question is how often they disinfected the polling machines where everyone coughs all over them and pokes them with their unwashed mitts. Never you say?!?! Great... Well, at least primary voters aren't predominantly at risk elderly... oh wait...

You have to assume that the majority of the people on the ship boarded despite awareness of the other cruise ships' situations... so I guess "it couldn't happen to us" played a major part in this. I hear a ton of older people saying things like "well, I can't worry about it... I've been through worse and survived." At least initial indications regarding the nearly linear correlation to patient age seems to indicate that the number of "worse things you've gone through previously" is a significant factor in how brutal the COVID-19 symptoms will be - and how likely they are to kill you.
Naturally, preexisting conditions play a major role, but how many times you've had a cold (certainly pneumonia) in your life seems to be a factor also, likely due to triggered immune responses which largely ignore this version apparently.

I'd like to see:
Statistics on how this virus affects two groups:
1) Those that got a "flu shot" every year
2) Those that didn't (me)

The main group of survivors will be antisocial guys living in their mums basement eating pot noodles so I think audiophiles will get away with this viral outbreak relatively unscathed.

What is the global mortality rate of the Coronavirus?
That's the question I asked Cortana (Windows 10) and she came up with this ...
"The latest global death rate for the novel coronavirus is 3.4% — higher than earlier figures of about 2%."

Say, assuming one worse case scenario (there could be worst), and that this rate doesn't go down (it will go down); 70% of the global population infected (70% of 7.8 billion is 5.460 billion), that includes babies, children, adults and elders (pets, no, bats, no, pigs, no, chickens, no, snakes, no, dogs and cats, no) ... 3.4% of 5.460 billion is 185,640,000 or over 185 million people gone...closer to 186.
Say the mortality rate is half of that (1.7%) and only 40% of the global population is infected; 40% of 7.8 billion is 3.120 billion, and 1.7% of that is 53,040,000 or over 53 million.
I know, it's only assuming and assumptions never materialize in real life.
Or that would be the day. Wash your hands real good, don't take a chance ...
And watch movies on 4K Blu-ray or on Netflix to get your mind out of the blues and the news. Life's too short to worry and stress out about Coronavirus and death.
Unless, you cannot escape the news every single day or so for the next nine months or so ...
Whatever you do check your travel agency before you decide to go on vacation somewhere you think it's safe and secure. ...Antarctica? ...Alaska? ...Argentina? ...Sahara? ...Down the basement in your home theater? ...In your dedicated music listening room? ...Putting on a pair of cans plugged to your laptop and going through a headphone amp/DAC combo? ...Jump in your car and go grocery shopping in a town full of zombies? ...Like in the movies.

Saw this post, no claims to the accuracy, but perspective is needed:
Interesting set of statistics.
The coronavirus appears to address the SSI ponzi scheme and unfunded pensions plans. In short, it sucks to be an old, male smoker.
