I’m a big fan of the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 map, with the ability to click on individual states: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

Using the JH dashboard numbers, is the death rate calculated by 3000/(3000+45000) or 3000/89000?

Neither, both would be skewed. That's because death happens after infection and recovery takes longer than death, and the number of cases is growing. What you want is dead/recovered N (28 for example) days after infection, which you will have to find elsewhere.

I personally like the CNN new feed for keeping up on new developments:

I also like the wikipedia articles because of the nice data tabulation:

I am glued to this. Seems to update in realtime.
