The dashboard reports cases at the province level in China, city level in the US, Australia and Canada, and at the country level otherwise. From January 22-31 the entire data collection and processing was managed manually. During this period the number of updates were typically conducted twice a day, both morning and night (Eastern Time). As the outbreak evolved, the manual reporting process became unsustainable, and on February 1, we adopted a semi-automated living data stream strategy. Our primary data source is DXY, an online platform run by members of the Chinese medical community, which aggregates local media and government reports to provide COVID-19 cumulative case totals in near real-time at the province level in China and country level otherwise. Every 15 minutes, the cumulative case counts are updated from DXY for all provinces in China and affected countries and regions. For countries and regions outside mainland China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), we found DXY cumulative case counts to frequently lag other sources; we therefore manually update these case numbers throughout the day when new cases are identified. To identify new cases, we monitor various twitter feeds, online news services, and direct communication sent through the dashboard. Before manually updating the dashboard, we confirm the case numbers using regional and local health departments, namely the China CDC (CCDC), Hong Kong Department of Health, Macau Government, Taiwan CDC, European CDC (ECDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as city and state level health authorities. For city level case reports in the U.S., Australia, and Canada, which we began reporting on February 1, we rely on the US CDC, Government of Canada, Australia Government Department of Health and various state or territory health authorities. All manual updates (outside mainland China) are coordinated by a team at JHU.

Or have I missed your point?
the JohnsHopkins data
shows
UK 25k cases with 135 recovered
Ireland 2,910 5 recovered

It was looking at the big European countries the recoveries just stood as being very different:
Cases/deaths/recovered
Spain - 94k /8k/19k
Italy - 102k/12k/15k
France - 45k/3k/8k
UK - 25k/ 2k/ 0.2kI understand the cases being different as at different testing and points in the outbreak but UK just seemed to have a very low recovered figure but might just be as we are two weeks behind the others
Do you have any idea why on the GIS one the UK dead vs recovered is so out of sync as a proportion compared to some of the other countries?
Is it just testing related?
