As I do not consume ordinary media sources, I have not seen Fox graphs. I have been using https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 primarily (it's visually pretty), and https://ncov2019.live/data (and others from time to time) to provide verification and backup of the Johns Hopkins map. You are right that it is difficult to get geographically relevant source data for infection and mortality, and this is perhaps a deliberate mechanism to prevent rational reaction to alarming data by people in areas affected.

It is clear throughout history that polities are far more concerned with their survival than that of their people.

Further, particularly in view of the possible deliberate censorship of factual information by available sources, what little we know about COVID-19 but avails us more questions. Given the fluid nature of circumstances arising from epidemics and pandemics, I therefore have advised folks to prepare in advance of public announcements of quarantines or outbreaks. All too often, it is too late to prepare for such events if one is simply reacting to official announcements.

As a matter of course I have persistent stocks of certain essential resources, due to my experience with duplicitous institutions. Since I have no confidence in them, I do not rely on them for adequate provision of alerts to developing situations, but simply remain prepared as standard operating procedure.

My recent health issues have perhaps rendered such preparations irrelevant, however. That is not your circumstance, and given your better outlook for continued survival, I recommend you take reasonable actions to secure necessary water, food, and medical necessities, at least, for an extended quarantine. If such preparations turn out to be unnecessary, at worst you have purchased such items before prices rise due to the normal affect of inflation.

If you need them, you will be glad to have them.

Thanks!
