World COVID-19 Stats

The Website: https://ncov2019.live/data

The information in the above link may or may not be interesting to you. The website, however, was made by a high school kid in Washington. I'm thinking seriously now that perhaps there is some hope for our future if these kind of kids are going to take control.

It is interesting, but I don't know how it could be accurate the way they report things these days.

Why are normal flu cases down by 98%, are they reading those as Covid instead?

I checked TN also, because I know what they say out the three major cities.
East TN has had very few cases, while West TN has had the most cases, much higher than East and Central combined.

Yeah, well, I'd take any numbers out of Tennessee with a grain of salt. The kid that did the web site used readily available information off the internet. He is not making any claims regarding the accuracy of the data, but he is putting a lot of time into gathering it and making it available for the world to see. I think his intentions are basically altruistic and his skills presenting the data are remarkably good. I like to see those traits in young people and haven't had much contact with that generation of people since my girls left home. It's nice to know not all kids are airheads.
