Please add back Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, dont merge them into China!!!

[ShawTim]

Yesterday the data of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau are still there. We are here for data, not for political correctness.

The data from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are issued from separate organisations than the one in mainland China. The regions also have their own borders so it does not make sense to merge them into the data for mainland China. Please split the data so that they could be analysed independently. Thank you.

John Hopkins has lost all credibility here.

Grouping HK, TW, MO data's into CN's is like grouping Puerto Rico's into United State's, or Princess Diamond into UK or Japan. Taiwan is not even part of the WHO!

All these territories are taking different attitudes and measures towards COVID-19, they also have different administrative body, and different medical system.

Please keep the data the way it is, so they could be analysed properly.

Yes, putting things like credible-less WHO make your dashboard no difference, think again

Separating different jurisdictions from each other helps visitor to better understand the actual status. It's stupid to merge them and confuse everybody just for the sake of a political gesture.

The definition of cases is significantly different among those regions, I don’t understand the merge, is it by accident, or politics?

In my extractions , in time series , I dont see that Macau , Hong Kong or Taiwan are integrated in Mainland China , so where is the issue ?

Province/State	Country/Region
Hong Kong	Hong Kong SAR
Taiwan	Taipei and environs

The dataset looks fine but the accompanying website for data visualisation doesn't. Look at the tally under "Confirmed Cases by Country/Region". Hong Kong, for example, used to have its own entry there but it's no longer the case. We are eager to know why.

Combining data of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau just doesn't make any sense. The government and people in these regions take very different measures to tackle this pandemic, and the numbers of infections in these areas can clearly demonstrate that. Data should be segregated for the purpose of drawing meaning conclusion rather than pursuing politically correctness (if that's the real motive behind the change).
