[NFBCS] Accessible COVID-19 stats

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

	And an active E-Mail link so folks can message you directly from the website. The site currently contains his E-Mail address but it is not an active link. Perhaps this is in progress.

Hey Ty,

This is a cool little site you put together. Do you know how often the API data is being updated? I know it should be real time or as data is updated but maybe this one is not. Perhaps you could add a date or time field to the data to accompany the numbers. There might even be a date/time field in the API that is updated with when data is reported. I am only suggesting this because according to the news, China has had 0 new cases since Thursday of last week but the site is displaying 39. This would also be a useful feature once you add state data since that information matters that close to home. 

Great job man! This is a cool tool and done with the best of intensions. Love the donation aspect of the site as well.
