Read this thread for information on the bot and how to understand the 2019-nCov update tweets. Updated for bot version 1.2a.
Numbers marked 'JH' are from the Johns Hopkins University CSSE tracker: gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashbo…

Numbers marked 'QQ' are from the Tencent QQ News tracker: news.qq.com/zt2020/page/fe…

Both of those links lead to dashboards with visual maps as well as per-city statistics.
The Johns Hopkins CSSE link is in English and sources information from the WHO, CDC, ECDC, NHC and DXY. The Tencent QQ News link is in Chinese and sources information from "national and local health committees".
Johns Hopkins CSSE is at this time not publishing a 'suspected cases' count, unlike Tencent QQ News. As a result, there is only one number for suspected cases.
Tweets are time-and-datestamped based on time of data being fetched and posted to Twitter, in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC'. Time-and-datestamp does NOT refer to when the information was last updated. For that, see the links above.
This bot will, if functioning normally, post an update once every hour. If any problems arise, please report them to Math#7777 on Discord.
