Best data sources for Covid-19?


What are the best (continuously updating) sources of data for regular folks to consume?

I've complied mine so far here (in part thanks to HN): https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-data-sources-on-Covid-19/answer/Benjamin-Stingle

But I'd love to get better ones, and to know what the best way to curate such links. I find it to be quite hard to distill facts our of the media. I figure making it easy for folks to find all this data could be helpful, and reduce paranoia.

Official Italian data is here: https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19

I made a gsheet that auto pulls data every hour (file > make a copy, to use it. script included in README): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xAyDSpzEp3n4iiu54_XL...

OR

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The latter is currently more up to date. The play by play of BNO is nice

One core challenge is that there is no good data on the spread, at least in the USA. No testing === no data.
