New cases in the USA is 1,694 and in the world, 59,791 according to https://corona-stats.online/US right now. This is so wrong its not even funny. Fix your code or take down the website.

@eastein The data is scraped from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries. It will exactly match it. New cases are correct as shown in worldometer as well as this site.

This is so wrong its not even funny. Fix your code or take down the website.

You can be a little more constructive with the feedback and comment. The mention of this statement absolutely unnecessary. It's a free service that can be used by anybody. The code is open source so anyone can fork and make improvements.

I suppose I could be nicer, sorry for saying its not funny, but waiting for patches with the site up passing out wrong data is not good either.

data is still wrong. When I reload https://corona-stats.online/US repeatedly it bounces back and forth between 68,680 and 58,102. I don't know what the right numbers are today but it should at least be consistent.
