Thoughts -

Since twitter is the primary medium for spreading information online; most users will be viewing twitter on handheld devices. The site hence needs to be mobile friendly. (Ref: https://twitter.com/GhoshSumeet/status/1238682861202370560)
Find others collecting reliable data - leverage available data, rather than trying to create/update own data
Link back to WHO resources; Since WHO is a trusted and reliable neutral party (unlike countries which might be under-reporting statistics), people will take it more seriously. Public advice - https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public
WHO Q&A - https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses. There might be a lot of sources undermining seriousness in people by presenting stats like mortality rate in comparison to other diseases or other demographic stats like age. While these may seem like facts at this point, being a new strain, there's still a lot to learn about it.
