Unfortunately, a lot of people have been visiting the site in the past day, so it has been experiencing rate limiting problems with the API to get latest news. Hope to fix this soon.

Thanks for checking out the site!

I'd be very interested if someone could build a parallel system showing equivalent data for flu. How does it compare?

I'm not personally sure, but, to the best of my knowledge, there is likely much more current and live data about COVID-19 than there is for the flu, as it is a new virus. Regardless, I would be interested to see if there are any APIs or resources to get data for other viruses like the flu, and whether someone could implement a similar site.

Thank you for checking my site out!
