Why I cannot find public data on coronavirus single cases?

Question

I would expect to find in the internet data about coronavirus single cases: not just the basics (age, blood type, weight, city, ...) but more and much more data, allowing scientists, statisticians or whoever to make inference: maybe as easy as spotting correlation, or much better as principal component analysis/discriminant analysis.I would expect a web interface, where selected personnel are allowed to enter and share data with the rest of the world (I&rsquo;m an internationalist)Tell me that I am just not aware that these databases exists!(I imagine several nations do provide opendata with the basic, but I do really mean detailed data, collected with some uniform worldwide standard)

Chinese researchers might be collecting data, now that the initial chaos is Wuhan has been addressed. “Some of the reasons for the lack of autopsies and biopsies include the suddenness of the outbreak, the vast patient volume in hospitals, shortage of healthcare personnel, and the high rate of transmission, which makes invasive diagnostic procedures less of a clinical priority.” https://www.genengnews.com/news/coronavirus-early-pathology-...
