With the new “single page” board format, I often see the first post in the Corona Breaking News thread. It’s so sweet. The link to 1,000 Deaths (!) is for China.

We’ve had a couple of threads in IMHO talking about this, but now that [deaths have topped 1000 (and the daily toll topped 100 for the first time)](https://apnews.com/8b4521f709f04bdf5ac7318788555335), I thought I’d start a thread where we can simply monitor the progress of this virus and the fight against it.

There are two main websites tracking the virus:

[Coronavirus 2019-nCoV Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE](https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1cnB4UuOYuu2DNYoCsIwM9x5iJp6Gxm8VXUT8Hs2AZI3cw_KF1BrsN29Q#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6) - this site is excellent; by far my preferred of these two

[https://thewuhanvirus.com](https://thewuhanvirus.com) - in addition to maps and numbers, this site does offer links to news stories about the virus.
