Coronavirus vs Open Disease

Coronavirus

A Pipedream-hosted proxy that returns confirmed-case, recovery, and death counts originally sourced from Johns Hopkins University's CSSE COVID-19 tracker, exposing global, mainland-China, and non-China summary stats plus the raw per-region breakdown as JSON at coronavirus.m.pipedream.net. JHU's underlying spreadsheet feed was retired on 2023-03-09, so the endpoint now serves that final historical snapshot on every request rather than live updates, cached via Pipedream's $checkpoint for 5 minutes. A live GET against the endpoint returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes'.

Open Disease

disease.sh aggregates COVID-19, influenza, and general public-health case/vaccination data from Johns Hopkins CSSE, WHO, and other public feeds into a single keyless JSON API, with endpoints scoped by country, US state, or continent plus historical time-series. A live GET against disease.sh/v3/covid-19/all and a live Origin-header probe both return Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming the already-stored 'yes'.
