Please correct/explain case count discrepancy between following two pages:
Page 1: Outbreak By Country
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak
Page above says US cases = 497 vs 389 for page below (on 3/08 at 3:46pm ET)
Page above says US cases = 761 vs 680 for page below (on 3/10 at 10:23am ET)
Page above says US cases = 1109 vs 975 for page below (on 3/11 at 3:51pm ET)
Page above says US cases = 1670 vs 1466 for page below (on 3/12 at 8:02pm ET)
Page 2: Outbreak in United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_the_United_States;

These two pages significantly disagree every day,
even though the cases By Country page acknowledges
and links to the cases in United States page.

Please explain the reason why case counts are different.
If numbers are not consistent, it makes people question
the accuracy of both pages.
