Coronavirus Covid-19 Updates on Latest Statistics

There is a huge amount of info out there about the spread of Corona Virus / Covid-18 across the world. Who would have imagined that in less than 2 months it went from something that was a curiosity in a small part of China to being a worldwide issue with a large proportion of the population under lockdown to prevent spread.

There are some particularly good sources of information that I've found about the virus statistics. In terms of raw data and numbers the Worldometer site has constantly updated information. It's updates so frequently I think the "yesterday" tab tends to be better as you are looking at data that is now static and doesn't constantly change.

As well as the headline numbers it also drills down into country by country details showing infection rates which can be useful to work out how a country is managing the pandemic.

As well as the raw data there are some excellent sites giving explanations and commentary on the numbers to explain what they are showing. With the best will in the world this isn't something suited to TV news bulletins but is really useful info to get a handle on the situation.

One journalist from the FT, John Burn-Murdoch is doing a great job with visualising the data and showing how countries are comparing. You can see his Twitter feed here:
