Our role
This is an independent, unofficial public-information project. It does not replace national surveillance, offer individual risk diagnosis, or treat media attention as outbreak magnitude.
Our principles
- Show sources with the numbers.
- Separate event phase, case confirmation and claim status.
- Use null for unknown values, never zero.
- Use restrained, non-alarmist language.
Independence statement
Plague Map is not affiliated with WHO, CDC or any government. Inclusion of a source does not imply endorsement. This release demonstrates the product and data architecture; every record requires source-by-source review before production launch.
Editorial team
Plague Map Editorial Desk · Data & public-health editorial team
We turn public outbreak reporting into source-linked maps, timelines and explainers.
The team is responsible for source verification, data modelling, revision records and public-information writing. Unless an article explicitly says medical-reviewed, source-reviewed does not mean that a clinician reviewed it.
