Oh and the countries are NOT in alphabetical order.
What is the difference between current und confirmed?
There needs to be at least one infected person in a country to show up in the list.

Is it possible to remove the āPeopleā part behind the numbers

This virus is bad and I get that and all, but there are other virusās that cause death.
Do we do an integration for every single disease that causes death in the world?
What happened to Bird Flu? It was a similar thing but now we never hear of it, but it still exists.
I understand people panic about new things, but what about the millions of other diseases that cause deaths? The many bacterial infections and āsuper bugsā that can be very easily spread as well?
I get people want to know about this one as it is in the news, but is it really needing its own integration into what is a Home Automation platform?

Maybe they will remove it when its over. And make new integration when there is something newā¦ Just information for those who want follow the stats.
Maybe there could be a generic āWorld Pandemicā integration, maybe worded slightly better though, to track outbreaks rather than just having it named for one virus?
Anyway, Iāll not comment more on this. As I said, the virus is bad. Horrible even. I personally know people who have been affected by it so I am not unsympathetic. I just felt focussing on just one of the many deadly diseases isnāt necessarily the best way to go. The NEWS teams already do a good job of making people panic 
@jimmyz51501 I am not sure how accurate that map is. I live in Australia and believe there have been more than just one death from the it here.
only 1 death according to gov

Went back to 1 after I upgraded to 0.106.4
What am I missing here? Iām on v0.106.4 (running in docker), but no Coronavirus integration exists?
NYT uses some very conservative estimates here to help people compare, but itās well organized: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/health/coronavirus-flu.html ā itās comparing rough/evolving data to long-studied diseases, so it may be a lot different when itās all said and done.
Not enough mention there about this aspect: Because it is so fast to spread, itās infecting so many victims all at once such that cases will likely overload hospitals and prevent everyone (even uninfected) from getting proper care from other illnesses (or complicating a percentage of every other illness if it does infect them). Perhaps that will improve as we learn better treatments ā in South Korea Iāve heard they are doing drive-thru testing to reduce impacts and perhaps weāll see more creative approaches in other countries.
