17-year-old youth self-learning program set up a website to track global COVID-19 data

17-year-old Seattle high school student changes the world with one idea When everyone was rushing for water, food, and masks, a 17-year-old high school student Avi Schiffmann who was studying at Moser Island High School in Seattle, USA, had a whim: I can write a web page to let everyone know about the new crown. The condition of pneumonia! In this way, a website that instantly updates global cases of new coronary pneumonia was born. Every ten minutes, the web page will grab the latest statistics from countries around the world, https://web-design.mucorales.com,so that everyone can get complete information!

The website is called ncov2019.live, and Schiffman decided to create it since he heard about the spread of new coronary pneumonia in mainland China. Since Christmas last year, this website has had more than 3 million unique visitors.

The website grabs information from various sources, such as local public health agencies, and cross-checks it with information from the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The website displays the cumulative number of confirmed cases, the cumulative number of confirmed cases outside China, the cumulative number of deaths, the number of cured cases, and all countries where the epidemic has occurred. The website updates information every ten minutes, but Schiffman himself spends six hours a day improving the website.

Schiffman taught himself programming and has participated in programming marathons many times. His wish is to "create something truly important."

The website shows the number of cured cases because Schiffman has received letters from netizens saying that the website is too negative.

Schiffman said: "If we show the number of people cured, it would be cool. The website is not all negative news, and there are many people cured."

Schiffman plans to add a new table showing the number of cases in each state in the United States, and will add a vaccine research and development table in the future. He can continue to improve the site thanks to continued donations. There is a button at the top of the website that allows netizens to buy Schiffman a cup of coffee.
