COVID-19 and maps

A few days ago, someone posted about the "hole in the map" with regard to COVID-19, namely that it showed no cases in Africa, which they thought was probably a lack of data rather than of coronavirus cases.

The WHO map now shows cases in Algeria and Egypt, but I am wondering about other map oddities. The US Centers for Disease Control has a world map of locations with confirmed cases; they seem to have forgotten that Alaska is part of the United States. WHO, meanwhile, groups countries into "regions," but the labels are odd. Their "Eastern Mediterranean" region includes Afghanistan, but not Israel; Israel is included in the group labeled "Europe."

(You're getting this because I'm low on focus for anything more substantive.)
