I found the icon on the Noun project, I'm attributing it a bit further down on the site.

Accuracy is super tricky here. Some people speculate that the numbers coming out of China are manipulated (I have no proof or opinion on that) and there's also some concern that deaths from other causes are also counted towards Coronavirus. But that's just what we have right now... an estimation of reality.

I'd also like regions, maybe that data is available somewhere, or could be scraped from national or local news sources, and then aggregated somewhere.

Are you planing to add more features, graphs, or other information?

I know regions are available for the UK on a daily basis (but not as a time series), so I'm planning adding that and recording the time series, though it does raise the question of inconsistencies in data between regional and national counts if I continue to use the national count from elsewhere.

I think I'll add testing figures as someone else suggested, though those are rapidly evolving and the latest figures I found were for March 19th.
