The lack of sensible articles and information is disappointing when we all are looking for trusted resources to help keep us safe and healthy during this crisis. Politicising the issues, the profiteering and panic are not helping anyone.
We will get through this and I hope this blog is serving you well.
Some of you have asked which sites I am sourcing as I endeavour to base these articles on the most reliable and accurate data and information. Here are some excellent sites I can recommend. Do not hesitate to inform me of ones you are finding particularly helpful.
Just click on the titles that are centred:
1. Coronavirus Update
Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. Worldometer is owned by Dadax, an independent company. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation.
Trusted Authority
Worldometer was voted as one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and largest library association in the world.
We have licensed our counters at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), to BBC News, and to the U2 concert, among others.
Worldometer is cited as a source in over 10,000 published books, in more than 6,000 professional journal articles, and in over 1000 Wikipedia pages.
2. Center for Systems Science and Engineering
This is the Johns Hopkins site and features an interactive map documenting the case activity throughout the world.
3. Dr John Campbell YouTubes
Dr Campbell is a qualified medical educator who resides in the UK. His charming and humble approach is admirable. He breaks down the basics in easy-to-understand-and-apply ways.
And here is a new one that has come to my attention today:
4. Global Health Security Index
The Global Health Security Index was "developed with guidance from an international panel of experts from 13 countries, with research by the Economist Intelligence Unit," The Washington Post reported last year. "More than 100 researchers spent a year collecting and validating publicly available data.”
I will continue to update the key statistics twice a day and feature practical information for your benefit. Please stay safe, observe your national restrictions to the letter, wash your hands properly and stay home. This is NOT a drill!
