What the map shows
The public interface separates reported case aggregates, outbreak events, and reviewed news updates. The map is an exploration layer; it is not a substitute for official public health guidance or clinical advice.
Numbers are shown only with attribution. Records without enough provenance should not enter the public layer.
Who it is for
The project is designed for journalists, researchers, students, public health teams, and readers who need a calm view of published data with links back to primary sources.
Data principles
- official sources such as CDC, ECDC, WHO, and national authorities come first;
- each record keeps source URL, publication or fetch date, and confidence;
- manual news items are separated from automatic ingestion output;
- geographic precision is explicit: country, region, event, point, or unknown.
