Is there information on total tests given for other countries? Total positive cases in context of total tests gives a lot more meaningful info.

Trevor Noah's interview of Dr. Fauci.
Indeed - but I haven't found a webpage that aggregates global testing data.
Even with my posting about the cursory and unconfirmed statistic that the U.S. has surpassed China in number of cases, I agree with others who say that currently published stats are not truly reliable for many reasons. In fact, I doubt that we will ever see truly accurate comprehensive stats on COVID-10. There are too many variables across too many countries and cultures.
There are likely asymptomatic carriers spreading the virus at all levels around the globe, and I see no way that such information could be captured. One action that does provide a bit of non-invasive screening capability is forehead temperature measurement, but that is not a reliable method to actually detect COVID-19 cases.
They want to show up in the picture more than they like to stay healthy it seems....

Such behavior is an obvious tell. The virus escaped or was released by the USA into Wuhan. It has come back here, but our gov't leaders have been immunized and need not actually practice social distancing. (Obviously they didn't immunize Rand Paul as he doesn't go along often enough).
All you need is a little bit of conspiracy-mindedness, and all is explained.
Note:no I'm not serious.
I’ve been trying to get someone to notice the UV-C light sources I’ve spoke about that I see some news in Nebraska about.
The Chinese used autonomous robots to “apply” the light in some of the facilities after in order to “disinfect”.
Nebraska is using it to make the PPE last longer by reusing it.
I saw something mentioned about what they did with the same technology during/after the Ebola outbreak.
Even using UV reflective paint on the walls to concentrate as much UV into the surfaces of all the equipment in the room.
Not sure why I’ve only seen Nebraska in the search I’ve done but kudos for a different approach.
P.S. UV-C is damaging to skin and eyes in this concentrated amount so a remote type of on/off of light and or protection is required.
I’ve researched a little more and there seems to be a “far” UV-C wavelength that is shorter and therefore might not pose the same risk as the longer wavelength of normal UV-C.
UV-C is around 254nm I believe while Far UV-C is around 222nm

WOW! I can't believe my state gets an "A" - too bad none of our public school attendees will ever see one.
Probably something inhuman based on previous history... but here's hoping I'm totally off-base on that assumption.
How about something like: "Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus - interactive charts and graphs"... not too hard.
BTW... although describing a scary topic, that radial chart is oddly appealing to me on a purely aesthetic level as well. Cool site.

No this is true , our PM and health secretary are pretending to have it to throw us off the scent.
Not suprisingly the response is just like everything else in life including hifi.
People search the internet, not for facts, but for somebody somewhere they feel vindicates and authenticates their existing opinion. Then they are relieved because they can feel they are right.
It is very typical but depressing.
Korea and Taiwan reacted quickly - having had experience of SARS perhaps? So far they look better than elsewhere.
I still think it is worth being conservative, we will learn a lot once all the data is in.
As usual I fear the only thing we will learn from the experience is that people don't learn from experience.

It does seem hard to find..
This shows something...
Now, adding this, it gives a lot more useful info, as testing follows the outbreak...
Tricky business trying to make sense of it.
There is a new 5 minute test...hopefully that facilitates much broader coverage, which is when we'll find out what's going on.

Tarragona province,
Tuesday: 197
Wednesday: 272
Thrusday night: 353 positives (verified just now)
Friday night: 404 positives
Rate: 51/353 -> 8.1%
In our province (795,000 inhabitants in 2019, Tarragona city: 134,515 in 2019) the Spanish-style quarantine works.
Perhaps on Tuesday they will tighten the restrictions but it seems that it will not be necessary. In Tarragona it came later and with some days with rates of almost 40% of new daily infections but the fall has been very fast!!!
