Microsoft Bing shows an easy way to track Corona virus by country (tracker)
While the coronavirus is spreading across the world, Microsoft offers an easy way to track them by country and state with the help of Bing's search engine.
Microsoft has released the COVID-19 Bing Tracker, a solution that works similar to Google Maps, but focused exclusively on coronavirus cases.
The interactive map shows the location of coronavirus cases with a circle, the size of which is determined by the number of cases . On the left, there is a running total of confirmed, active, recovered, and fatal cases. At the time of writing, there are 169,673 confirmed cases , 85,338 active cases , 77,767 recovery cases , and 6,518 fatal cases .
Below the totals, there is a list of countries and clicking on a country will focus the map on that location, list the breakdown of the cases, and offer links to verified news covering the passage of the coronavirus there . For anyone who is concerned or interested in what is happening with the coronavirus locally, this is a good place to start.
The data Microsoft uses comes from the World Health Organization, the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention. As for how the tracker came about, Michael Shechter of Microsoft explained, “Many people in Bing worked from home this past week to create a mapping and news resource authoritative to report on COVID19.”

The maps show some numbers, either outdated or some minor figures simply don't show up.

And in most cases the virus will not be detected. Those are reported cases and situation in some developing countries might be very different.

Over here the officials have said the real number is likely a few times larger than the verified cases at this point. Looking at the other Nordic countries, it would make sense. The other Nords might have just been more efficient at verifying them.

Know on wood, I'm amazed given I live besides Italy and also our collaboration extends from "potatoes" to Energy Department while my country ( Greece ) is almost non-affected. Almost.
You give too much credit to Scandinavian countries. A mistake many tend to do. Even in WWII Sweden managed to keep out by helping both sides. They also think they're the more ethical people of Europe and THAT will be their doom. Already recorded cases, especially one that made me cry, 7-8 Muslims raping a 13 year old girl and recording it in order to brag. Imagine how dumb they are. Ghettoes formed and no Swedish allowed to walk freely in his own country. They come here and want to make our countries like their shiteholes they came in.

Whole country on lockdown here, meanwhile they don't even check people arriving by planes. This will be a disaster.
