No new plague dashboards in the last 24 hours. Developers are resting.
This status describes the proliferation of plague dashboards only. It says nothing about disease transmission. For that, see the panel on the left.
THE DASHBOARDS ARE SPREADING FASTER THAN THE PLAGUE.
Public-health figures come from official sources. The rest of this website measures internet dashboard proliferation, which is considerably less medically significant.
Count of independent plague trackers whose first public evidence falls in the last 24 hours.
New trackers in the last 24h (0) minus new trackers in the 24h before that (0).
JOKE METRIC, NOT A REPRODUCTION NUMBER. New trackers in the last 24h ÷ new trackers in the previous 24h (0 ÷ 0). Dashboards do not infect each other. Probably.
10×trackers (13) + 25×velocity (0) + 5×unique domains (13) + 15×startup-TLD trackers (3) + 50×trackers displaying a crypto token (1).
13 plague trackers + 1 plague tracker tracker. Every entry was opened and checked; creators are listed only when the tracker states them. Deduplicated by canonical URL and domain.
