Links to Useful Covid Statistical Data?

I've been looking at bing.com/covid to keep up to date, which is actually better than I've come to expect from M$. It's difficult to check much beyond totals, however. Has anyone come across better sites?
2 metrics that seem extremely useful are:


2 metrics that seem extremely useful are:
- 7 day average, i.e the last 7 days new cases added up & divided by 7. This is a rolling average but gives an indication on new cases, especially where the statistics are erratic. Bing never mentions that.
- New Cases (or deaths) per 100,000 of the population.That's the standard one, but it can be deaths, hospitalizations, etc. This statistic allows you to compare small countries and large ones. Both statistics can be coupled, i.e. average cases per 100,000 of population. This is used as a metric for air travel in Europe. For certain Ireland flew the virus in that way, and have no interest in doing so again.
