Wuhan Coronavirus Status App for China - Rapid Prototype using MQTT and the IoT OnOff IOS App

With a little bit of work, was able to build a nice "Wuhan Coronavirus Status" app using MQTT and the IoT-OnOff app. More on this technique here:
ESP32 (ESP-WROOM-32) as an MQTT Client Subscribed to Linux Server Load Average Messages
The result turned out nice, I think. I like the look and feel of this app considerably better than other apps I prototyped, and it is much more cost effective (free).
If anyone wants to build such an app like this, please just let me know (post back in this thread) and I will show you how to build this, step-by-step. If you want to you my MQTT server / service, I can make that happen for you as well.
So, in nutshell, you can have this "Wuhan Coronavirus" public service status app working for free, 100% and I assure you, 100% your usage data will be private and never shared with any third party, never under any circumstances. This is public app to help others, not to make money (as many companies seem to forget in times of crisis and look to profit from the misfortunes of others. Not here at unix.com! This app I created has one purpose - to help those who might need this information during a humanitarian crisis. This is how IT should really be used, to help others in times of need and crisis. If one person benefits, I am more than happy enough. I don't need money, fame or fortune from IT.

For the next part of this project, I think I will build a Node-RED dashboard app for macOS. I installed Node-RED yesterday when searching for dashboard app, but I need to import the dashboard widgets and set it up to display a dashboard with MQTT data,
