Does WHO provide an API or do you scrape web site yourself?
In any case the data doesn't seem to be updated in real time.
I also developed a dashboard myself using Wolrdometer as data sources which is updated every 10 min: https://coronavirus.gg/

I also developed a dashboard and you can also see the same growth with the worldwide cases.

My dashboard aggregate data from Worldometer and some people prefer a simple view: https://coronavirus.gg
I want to add deaths per country as well and maybe other ideas you guys have that would not clutter the view too much...

Thanks sir, I used react-chartjs (https://github.com/reactjs/react-chartjs).
I am scraping/parsing the website every 30 min for now and then storing the result in a NoSQL db and exposing the result as an API for my frontend. Maybe letting others use my API would be helpful (well, you could use it without my consent without much trouble I guess hehe).

Good job, never used Data studio, it looks like a nice way to make quick prototypes.
I wonder if anyone might be interested in using a single API to get all the data instead of scraping it from different sources at this point. The API I did for my project (https://coronavirus.gg) might serve this purpose, if anyone is interested...

(Shameless plug alert) I made a simpler version of a COVID-19 dashboard based on the Worldometer data. Currently updated every 30 min. I hope it can be useful to some of you. https://coronavirus.gg/

A simple website that provides key statistics about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) at a glance. Currently updated every 30 min. Feedback is welcome!
Topolomancer: Good point, will look to add this. klundqist: It is Worldometer for now but might do some kind of aggregation of multiples sources if relevant.
