There seems a misconception that because the US is a big country it's the only one being affected regionally, but that's absolutely not the case and if you look at a map of Italy's cases, you can see the same thing is true there as well.
Yeah, they are all pulling from the same sources. And yes, some numbers can lag based on who gets tested or where they get tested. Some private labs can be 1 week behind. The one I mentioned sources the JHU data and puts it into a trend growth rate. Unless I'm blind, I don't necessarily see that on the JHU map?

I really have no clue on the 'trend growth rate' and I'm not interested in discussing which graph is better than the other. I'm not a statistical scientist and I don't play one online. All the numbers are really going to do is make a lot of people stress out and buy more toilet paper. I can't really affect the numbers it's like watching a big thunderstorm roll in, you can't really affect it other than try to protect yourself and your family.But no matter how much you try to protect yourself lightning can still kill you and if the lightning doesn't get you the tornado can. You can do everything right in your life, but something out of the blue can strike you dead. I just sorta look at um, click on the features and then move on. It's up to everyone else what you do with what you're looking at. To me it's just a way to worry about it more than I need to as the virus is here and you just have to do your best to try to avoid it, etc. Looking at the numbers ain't going to affect anything other than our own psyche.

And that's why I like the interactive maps that show a bit more breakdown. I'm happy to see it for all countries, because I might not be familiar with other places.

Well, here is the most recent for the UK, if you're curious https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/3B66/production/_111460251_uk_la_mp28mar-nc.png--snip--I am more reassured by the fact our science people are not currently panicking about our numbers and the NHS is not reporting that we're at capacity. Also that most people are following the rules.
