Computer whiz Avi Schiffmann, 17, spends much of his time these days constantly updating and improving the website, which automatically scrapes data from reliable sources from all over the world. The site, which originally updated every 10 minutes, now updates every minute to provide the latest statistics on the number of confirmed cases, serious cases, deaths, and recovered — both worldwide and in each country — in real time. The site also hosts an interactive Google map, a Twitter feed, travel advisories, information on the disease and its prevention, as well as tips for preparing for quarantine situations.
“I started working on this project at Christmastime, when there were fewer than 1,000 confirmed cases — all in mainland China,” said Schiffmann, a high school junior. “It was hard to get clear, concise, and accurate information on what was going on, and I wanted to do something to fix this.”

I don't think this is getting updated hourly any longer. It still shows Oklahoma with 1 case, and there are three confirmed.
I realize we want to take some precautions. Many of the actions in Oklahoma seem a bit extreme considering there are only 3 cases among the almost 4 million residents here. One is an airman that spent time in Seatle last week; one recently visited Italy. Don't know about the third one. Colleges and schools are shutting down. OU and OSU start spring break, and are telling students that all their classes for the two weeks after spring break will be on line.
