      Gathering data from different sources is a time-consuming job, and this is a side-project for me, so I opted to only using the JHU data.

    That’s awesome! I don’t know much about web development but I’d be willing to help you translate the website to Portuguese. This would be of great use for us Brazilians.

      This website uses the data provided by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE). This data isn't perfect, for that reason, I wouldn't recommend using this website in any official manner.

        Thanks. That explains why the Australian data is a little bit different to what I see locally.
