    This is pretty great. I've been using it for a few weeks now to track the progression of the virus worldwide.

    I've been using this website for the US/Canada. It seems to update more frequently and gives some better historical data than the Johns Hopkins map does.

    edit: nevermind. I think. Oh, this comes from The Lancet, by the way.

    If we take total deaths / total recovered (7893/80840 ~= 9.8%), does that give us a better idea of mortality rate? edit: nevermind. I think.

      Which at the time of writing is 7902 / 196,979 = 4.01%

      The mortality rate should be calculated as the total deaths as a percentage of everybody infected total confirmed

        I saw in another post here that it should really be total deaths / (total deaths + recovered) since the confirmed but not resolved cases could still go either way.

          Pondering that in this comment. I'm very amateur. Just trying to consider things.

        Yea, I was thinking basing it off "total recovered" wouldn't count those that are infected and haven't died, but might. the denominator would have to be "total recovered + total deaths", though. I...

        Yea, I was thinking basing it off "total recovered" wouldn't count those that are infected and haven't died, but might. the denominator would have to be "total recovered + total deaths", though. I messed that up. but, also, it'd make more sense to do a per-region mortality rate, I think.
