Dadax

Is this correct?

Interesting if they’re providing this data to us. Looked up wondering how they collected so much data.

Just saw this at bottom of page:
“ Recently, We get many calls and emails about Worldometer regarding to COVID-19 live data. Actually, www.worldometers.info is not an affiliated product of Dadax Software. And Dadax Software did not collect or republish any COVID-19 data so far.”

Still weird.

Seriously.

That site can no longer be trusted if so.

China is lying about their numbers, but that site is mirroring the John Hopkins site, if anything, they are slightly ahead...

Doesn’t the site provide direct links to source data from each state?

And they do cite their sources

But don't worry. Everything is a conspiracy here.

So where does Johns Hopkins get their data? It’s a circle jerk. Just like the media echo chamber. Just repeating false numbers, statements, accusations, and gossip wrapping it up as news.

I don't know, but as was already mentioned, worldometer is citing the hell out of their sources

their data mirrors what I see when I do a google or duck/go search for "coronavirus Alabama"

I am seeing that death rates remain low & that the Trump Pills are working

in the US, recoveries have ALMOST doubled deaths

soon, they will quintuple

or better

the issue is overwhelming the hospitals

getting a working vaccine is phase 2

but there is no reason to keep the economy shut down longer than 3 to 5 weeks

late or mid May at the latest

So for the record, do you think the data from China is accurate?

I can see the apprehension to rely on other countries but for states to report false data seems like a stretch. What makes them think that?
