Which country did you select?
I am not a specialist here, but I am pretty sure that it is the total of persons who died due to Covid-19, no matter how old they were and which previous diseases they had. There are other documents on that site (https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19) which you can study to get more detail, but probably you will also have to look at the main site of JHU or that of WHO. I only used this site because data are nicely accessible and can be downloaded easily.
The exception is thrown at the begining in TMainForm.LoadLocations and in TMainForm.GetDataString when selecting any countryOK, it happens on 64-bit Windows. Fixed.
I compiled the program and everything works regularly (Windows 10 64bit; FPC 3.0.4; Laz 2.0.6).
However, I've had problems with OpenSSL. Which version would you advise me to use?
Is it possible to display cumulative data for the whole planet? This would be especially instructive by revealing a more or less clear exponential relationship.It looks to me that the dataset used seems to contain both areas and sub-areas, I saw that US cities are contained together with their states which would count these cities twice. These cities are filtered out in my program, but I cannot guarantee that duplicates do not occur anywhere else.
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,46560.msg332387.html#msg332387 points to 32bit and 64 bit versions of the openssl dlls. You need the version which matches the bitness of your IDE (unless you are cross-compiling).
I had to add opensslsockets to be able to download new data .Thanks. Fixed.
but I checked the program to run on Linux (Mint) and Mac (Mojave), too. For access to the Johns Hopkins server, the OpenSSL library ...
I needed Getmem's tricks to get the downloader to work on FPC304 and Lazarus Fixes :What was the issue? And how exactly did you fix it? What is your OS/widgetset? 32/64 bit? Do you use the latest revision from my github?

no data for the land of Oz....You mean the US? The JHU files do not contain the total, only the values of individual states. Look at US > New York with today's data: there is a doubling time of around 1 day! Mr. Trump will have a huge problem.
I think he means AustraliaOh. Like for the US, there is no total of Australia, only its states are listed. Being used to the numbers in Europe these numbers appear pretty low, but almost everywhere there is exponential growth with doubling times in the order of a few days. So, in a few weeks they will be at our levels if nothing happens.

I (would have) expected all maintained distros to be using pretty much the same version now given no one wants to be too far ahead or behind.
I really hope than one day (or year or century or millennium) it will be fixed (all the fixes are there, ready to be committed).
I think all the problems are fixed in FPC320,

Are you talking about the "so.num" problems?:

In the last fork I did today of fpc 3.2.0 beta, it was not yet fixed (the same for fpc 3.3.1 trunk).
Fre;D
A little worrying to see the exponential curves...
The moral, really, is that (provided you're not of any high-risk group) there is little to worry about
We are programmers - for the most part we can do basic maths.Yeah we need to take precautions.
If the mortality is 1% and half of a population gets infected this year, it is a simple calculation.
I am in a very high risk group, so did the maths early - hence the worry.
So we need to slow down the spread. In the meantime, we can try some cures, like hydroxychloroquine. By the way my government did not test people coming from China even when the first cases were discovered in France, not even take their temperature.
its really terrifying that the rising numbers can be seen everywhere in the world.... and that many of the small numbers double also within a few days. Exponential growth is faster than any human activity to prevent damage. Only while the numbers are small there is some chance to do something. Don't waste time.
Come on that's a strawman argument! That man self-medicated himself, and not with hydroxychloroquine. The bad idea is to self-medicate and even worse if you don't even know precisely what drug to take. I cannot believe that someone could consider this article as a proof against the drug.So we need to slow down the spread. In the meantime, we can try some cures, like hydroxychloroquine. By the way my government did not test people coming from China even when the first cases were discovered in France, not even take their temperature.
that's a realy bad idea!
