What this project does
We bring selected public reports into one place so readers can find the original source, understand where an event was reported, and distinguish a confirmed event from an unresolved claim. Country profiles connect current reporting with dated historical statistics.
Who publishes the briefs?
Briefs are published under the Plague Tracker project name. They are editorial summaries of linked public sources, not original clinical investigations. We do not claim medical credentials or affiliation with WHO, CDC, or any government agency.
What makes a useful brief?
Every published brief identifies its source and original publication date. Where a source discusses an older event, the event date stays separate. Uncertainty remains visible, and missing numbers are never silently turned into zero.
How the project is maintained
Configured sources can be checked periodically for new links. Discovered candidates enter a review queue. An editor must review and publish a candidate before it becomes a public brief. Collection does not itself confirm a diagnosis or update case statistics.
