from Silver Doctors:

Access to critical, vital information is being denied! What are they hiding? Whatever it is, it can be found using this backdoor for access…

UPDATE (4:15 p.m. EST) –

It looks like a tiny bit of usability has been restored:

No explanation or other information is given on the Johns Hopkins Covid-19 tracker website blog, however.

Is it possible they are adding new functionality?

It could be, however, you think they’d spend 2 minutes to create a note on the either the blog webpage, or on the interactive map directly, explaining upgrades or maintenance which may be going on.

– END OF UPDATE

(Silver Doctors Editors) Johns Hopkins has cut off the public from vital information.

Instead of seeing something like this:

Which is a screenshot from yesterday’s 10:33 a.m. update, users are greeted with a log-in.
