Nice.
It's as good as the data gets but I think countries with less organized public health will have serious under-counts as they are less like to search out suspicious cases and do definitive tests or determine cause of death. Countries that try to control all info, like NK, could also have serious outbreaks and not admit it - every location around them has cases and they don't?

Heck, the US has data problems, and has no idea how many cases they actually have. I read about a Seattle-area physical therapist that works with primarily elderly nursing home patients who had the symptoms and wanted to get tested, tried calling to get tested and couldn't get anyone who knew what to do, and when she finally was able to get through to the CDC hotline, they told her she wasn't eligible to be tested because she hadn't been outside of the country in the last 14 days, so they wouldn't test her unless the symptoms got so bad that she had to go to the ER because it developed into bronchitis. We really have no idea how many possible cases there really are in the US, and still haven't ramped up testing enough to really find out.
