The Center for Systems Science and Engineering at John Hopkins University is running an online dashboard[1] that tracks the spread of the deadly coronavirus as it proliferates across the United States and around the world.
The live dashboard[2] pulls data from the World Health Organization (WHO) -- as well as the centers for disease control in the US, China and Europe -- to show all confirmed and suspected cases of coronavirus, along with recovered patients and deaths. The data is visualized through a real-time graphic information system (GIS) powered by Esri.
Coronavirus[3] -- which causes the respiratory disease known as COVID-19 -- is believed to have originated in Wuhan City, in Hubei province, China, and so far has killed more than 1.6 million people globally.
The virus has rapidly spread across the United States since March 2020. To date, there have been over 16 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the US and more than 304,000 confirmed deaths.
Those infected with coronavirus -- known formally as SARS-CoV-2 -- are exhibiting pneumonia-like symptoms, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Coronavirus was first reported to the WHO on Dec. 31, 2019, with Chinese investigators linking the disease to the coronavirus family of viruses, which also includes the deadly SARS and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
Additional resources for tracking the virus include this page from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[4] and another from the WHO[5]. These websites list up to date news on the spread of the virus as well as situation reports and maps of infected areas. Researchers from the University of Oxford, Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital and Northeastern University have also launched a virus tracking website[6]
