COVID-19 has taken the entire world by storm, and the titans of technology can no longer ignore the situation. Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and Microsoft have recently published a joint statement committing to combat misinformation and fake news about the coronavirus, prioritize content from authoritative sources, and provide additional tools to users. In the specific case of Redmond, we find the brand-new Bing COVID-19 Tracker, an infection map based on data from the WHO, the US CDC, and the European ECDC.
More than just a map
One of our first recommendations for learning more about SARS-CoV-2 (previously under the designation 2019-nCoV) and the disease COVID-19 was to visit the interactive map maintained by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, which has become the primary data source for television channels, portals, and news agencies around the world over the past few weeks. However, this technological expression is not the only one of its kind.

In recent hours, a group of companies consisting of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and Microsoft jointly announced their commitment to face the wave of misinformation and fake news related to COVID-19, in addition to providing new tools to web users to closely study the evolution of the disease and immediately receive any relevant news that helps combat it. Google confirmed that it is already working on new resources with the US government (a decision that has not been free of controversy), but Microsoft has already taken its first step with the new Bing COVID-19 Tracker.
In essence, it is a map similar to the one offered by Johns Hopkins, with the difference that its performance tends to be superior, and as far as we have been able to verify, it has more up-to-date data. The central sources of the Bing COVID-19 Tracker are four: the World Health Organization, the US CDC, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (or ECDC in English), and Wikipedia. When you click on the information icon (bottom-left corner), you can see the exact date and time of the last update, and very close to it there are shortcuts to hide the interface or copy its link to the clipboard.
Want more information? All you need is a simple click on the country in question. The news sources chosen by the map are based on your geographic location, but with a bit of scrolling down, local portals and videos should appear. In short, don't hesitate to use and share the "Bing COVID-19 Tracker". It works very well on both desktops and mobile devices, and its update speed is definitely welcome.
