It is the first great news of the year that is filling news and headlines in all media. Wuhan’s coronavirus produces a special type of pneumonia that has already claimed more than three hundred victims and has caused a WHO epidemic alert. It is precisely that this has caused a great social alarm and that has led different entities to launch web portals with interactive maps in which we can follow the development of the disease minute by minute.
It should be noted that the denomination coronavirus is not something special. They have been known since the 60s and among their different strains are that of the common cold. Most of the people have contracted some of them in our life since this name is given to a group characterized by its crown-shaped tips its surface.
That is why there are several different types, including the one that has raised so much scrambled right now, the coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCov) but also the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Maps with infected and killed by the coronavirus
The social alarm has led different entities to launch different web portals in which we can follow minute by minute the development of the disease throughout the world. The first, and perhaps most interesting, is that of the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering.
It can be followed on a map, where we can zoom to any area , to discover where the already more than 14,000 cases of the disease are being detected. It also takes a count of both deaths and cases in which the patients have recovered as well as a column showing the number of confirmed cases per country. A very interesting information if we are going to travel to one of those geographies that also has a mobile version if you are visiting us from your smartphone.

If we are following the subject for some academic interest, we can download the data through a Google Sheet to be able to handle them later Excel and other information processing systems. A real mine for researchers.
On the other hand, it could not be less and Google has created a map in which they are collected, with less information than in the previous one but also in a much more visual way, the cases detected, confirmed and the deaths that there are by the coronavirus . This map, as you can see, can also be placed on any website as shown below in addition to being able to consult it through the well-known tool of the Mountain View company.
