Corona Virus Live broadcast novel: news broadcast, world map, live count confirmed cases, recoveries (COVID-19).

I started this live broadcast on January 26th, and since January 30th I have been streaming this non-stop. Many people are concerned about the spread of the coronavirus. For anyone who wants to know the numbers and the evolution of this virus worldwide, I offer this live broadcast. The goal is not to instill fear or panic, nor is it necessarily at rest. I only provide data to help inform the audience of the current situation.

Initially, it tried to display only official data from governments without any manipulation. But many people wanted to apply updated data for broadcasting, and I added procedures for handling data manually with my computer. As the number of affected countries increased sharply, I realized that I could no longer provide new information from 100 countries “alone”. So I did another procedure that enabled supervisors to remotely process the number on the screen. Not only the supervisors willingly accepted the hard work but also everyone who gives us reliable information makes the flow data.

The numbers shown on the screen are based on a mix of government advertising and news media. For more than a month, moderators and I encountered information that will be included in the next day’s official announcement. As most of you feel, I want to confirm that the number on the screen has a high possibility that will be adapted to the next official announcement. Once a day, our numbers are exactly matched with the governments announcement. There is still a high possibility that we are displaying incorrect numbers.

There were some questions that “Do you think the number is from China?”. Partially I agree with the recent drop in confirmed case numbers because China has set a strong insurance strategy in Wuhan (if the closure does not work, then that means we have no great hope that the closure will have major impacts on reducing confirmed cases). Several days ago, at a WHO briefing, someone asked the question how many patients had recovered. According to Dr. John Campbell’s video, the World Health Organization has defined the criteria for patients who have recovered as follows: 1. No symptoms 2. Regular chest x-ray 3. Two-day consecutive negative laboratory tests. But these standards are only a WHO recommendation. Most countries will try to follow the criteria when they can contain COVID19. But when they are in extreme conditions of lack of medical resources or political pressure, this will make them difficult to follow. I almost believe that China does not follow the standards recommended by the World Health Organization.

She majored in life sciences and joined the Bioinformatics Laboratory for her Master’s degree. At that time I used a snake. Since I decided to change my career as a dentist, I have stopped programming for 15 years. Now, I started to learn more about snake with googling.
Because my work doesn’t allow mistakes, I’m not going to try anything new. I still wonder how I can start this live broadcast. Sometimes the Python program doesn’t work as I meant.

If I can devote all of my free time to this live broadcast, I will provide more accurate and faster information. But please understand that I cannot process data all day. As you work and sleep, data is collected automatically.

I live in south korea. At the beginning of the influx, the number of confirmed cases was not high in South Korea. After the sudden, untraceable local transmission, the number increased dramatically. Please note that COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease.
