Johns Hopkins has had the most detailed tracking site since this started. This is the gold standard, but they have been lagging with the updates recently probably due to the increasing amount of information the need to verify.
These guys are a few hours ahead of Johns Hopkins with publishing cases

What information? My main issue is the lack of reliability in testing in calling cases "confirmed" when they actually are not confirming the presence of a specific virus (SARS-CoV-2) but rather confirming symptoms or the presence of other viruses. As far as I can tell I don't think any source disagrees with that.

The moment the cdc removed a data set that had just hours earlier been referenced in the criticism of testing by the federal government, it lost all credibility.

Now we can have a discussion. Johns Hopkins is a scholarly producer and source of information.

A couple thousand cases in China were clinical diagnoses. There are 200,000 cases now..

I'm not so concerned with who published the data as I am with who collected the data. It used to be that only a few labs that had a certain clearance/standards were able to complete the test. Now they let basically all labs do it which has its problems. I think better evidence is having one very reputable lab (like the one in France I cited earlier) do a large amount of tests. That way you can reduce the potential number of errors that are very easy to commit doing this kind of test.

I almost want to get the virus just to prove how laughably easy it is to recover from it.

That's not the point. It is a selfish viewpoint, that I too once held, but it is the wrong view. You probably need not worry, but this has the potential to hospitalize/kill a bunch of older folks. Your parents, grandparents, old teachers, etc.

Yeah, apparently most of the deaths so far have actually been caused by fear, not the virus itself.
I was talking to somebody at work about the virus, and they started freaking out.
They just keeled over and died right there. The virus didn't even have a chance to infect them, the fear was so powerful.

Wait. Are you telling me that a website that has the above picture of Donald Trump as the coronavirus (that actually is on their front page) on their home page has some sort of agenda?

I'm shocked

Soon they'll be saying that Trump engineered the virus to infect only women, with money stolen from orphanage funds, then sent it to China in a racist financial ploy.

This lab in France has tested over 5000 samples and not one had SARS-CoV-2. They did however find 373 other coronaviruses as well as other respiratory virus that routinely kill people all over the world.
It's worth noting that you did ultimately come up with something substantial to support what you claimed earlier about test reliability. Looks like a legit scientific journal and they thought the letter was credible enough to publish. Though as a letter to the editor it presumably was not peer reviewed.
