Wikipedia depends on volunteers posting from other sources. It is not the best source for immediate data. Why don't you know that? You are smart there's no excuse.
These wikipedia pages are updated more frequently than daily, so they are as up to date as I care about. In addition, they use consistent sources, which I don't think Worldometer does - I know Johns Hopkins doesn't - and the sources are in footnotes so I can track them down if I want to double check the data myself.
That said, I checked Worldometer and their trends match Wikipedia's - Georgia and Texas basically constant in new cases in the past month, and Florida falling. Worldometer does have prettier graphs, so I might be consulting it more in the future, thanks.
Quote:USA has something like 2,600 000 cases. The 2nd most infected country Spain has 260,000 cases. This virus is nothing less than full indictment of what happens when we turn over our country to trickle down libertarian policies. We are the epicenter of the virus. Republicans make abominable leaders and should pay the price!
The US has a lot more detected cases than Spain partly because we're bigger, but also partly because we have a better testing program. On a per million population basis, Spain has more deaths.
