WikiProject COVID-19[edit]

I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --Another Believer _(Talk) 17:43, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recovered cases[edit]

@Curb Safe Charmer: Having followed pretty much all of the coverage of Guernsey and Jersey's coronavirus testing news, I haven't seen any mention of 'recovered cases' in either jurisdiction. There have been references made to patients who are 'doing well' but certainly no explicit statement of 'recoveries'. I'd suggest we either: (1) remove the recoveries field entirely; or (2) put a "–" or just "0" in the field with a refnote explaining that there hasn't been any mention of recoveries (as I did in the Guernsey article). What do you think? —Formulaone wiki 09:26, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are in a position where recovered cases plus deaths exceed the confirmed cases. Any ideas....? deaths are 14 proven and 15 probable, so maybe they are not counting these 15 probable. I have adjusted the Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Bailiwick of Jersey medical cases chart to reduce "recovered" so at least it looks more accurate.Ânes-pur-sàng wiki 14:46, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics discrepancy[edit]

@Formulaonewiki: we have a little discrepancy in the statistics. I've interpreted the government data that the two people who died are included in 'confirmed cases' whereas you've interpreted them as being in addition to the confirmed cases. I am not sure how we check which interpretation is correct? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:13, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Curb Safe Charmer: Me neither, can't find anywhere that clarifies on their website. Perhaps we should just use the data they include in the graph on their website (the negative and positive cases) and exclude the pending and deaths as ancillary figures? —Formulaone wiki 14:17, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NB I have changed it to reflect what I suggested above. Given how the 'pending results' figures seem to vary so wildly and have only been reported since 19 March it probably makes more sense to omit them. What do you think about deaths? I've not counted them in as 'extra' cases for now. —Formulaone wiki 14:29, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Curb Safe Charmer: The negative, positive and pending results reported on the Jersey government website again totalled something inconsistent (lower than the day before), so I've just replaced the total column with the negative result totals. —Formulaone wiki 19:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers still don't make much sense. Same here. Ivo (talk) 15:41, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Graphs[edit]

Propose that we keep the weekly graph of new cases and bin the daily numbers of new cases, as the weekly shows trends much better. Ânes-pur-sàng wiki 16:36, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
