While I can appreciate the technical accomplishment of building this, I think most people should stick to official channels of news from their government or local authorities. I also don't think it's mentally healthy to keep tracking a live stream of COVID-19 news from around the globe.
https://talksub.com/covid19 is the best I've found for the US, breaking figures down I think to the county level, with sources. For the world, https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (if you just want the numbers, not a map), fairly detailed. Though following sites like these gets scary fast...
For latest news, I'm working with NewsAPI (newsapi.org) to get latest headlines on the virus from different countries. I'll check what I can do, but this may just be a consequence of their API and data.
