Edit map to include Puebla?

edit

A case was confirmed in Puebla. I did the editing on the article, but I don't know how to change the map. Any help? Not A Superhero (talk) 13:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

The map is at Commons ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Outbreak_Cases_in_Mexico.svg), you can either request for help directly to the uploader(s), or leave a message at its talkpage. 15:56, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Timeline?

edit

Alright, so far the article is presenting information in paragraphs, but considering that this will probably develop and expand in the future, I think it would be better to start preparing for it, taking a format similar to what is being done in the article for Spain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Spain or another one.

What form do you think this article should take? Any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Not A Superhero (talkcontribs) 07:18, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply


I want to upload a graph with the timeline, but Wikipedia does not allow me, I would like to contribute to this. It is the error message: Meab21 (talk) 03:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

What is the source we are using for confirmed cases in the sidebar? TapatioJoe (talk) 19:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Added a bit on the timeline concerning the two cases confirmed in Jalisco. However, I do not know to what total this brings the total confirmed cases. See my above question... what source are we using for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TapatioJoe (talkcontribs) 19:41, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

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) 17:55, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removed section

edit

I don't understand what this chart is trying to show. 6 is not the number of new cases today or yesterday or the total number of cases either day. 53 is in the y1 line but displays as 5? Even if it woked correctly why do we need two graphs of the same data in the article? Rmhermen (talk) 16:24, 16 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Statistics

edit

Why was the discussion locked?

edit

Now I can't edit any important information as I want about to edit multiple stuff. Honestly very unexpected. I was one of the original editors of the article. I don't know if someone could give me permission? Thanks. Juanito0817 (talk) 06:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Cases vs date

The cases vs date graphs has been migrated to Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Mexico medical cases chart as done with other countries.--MaoGo (talk) 18:08, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Authors on news articles

edit

Is it necessary to cite that the author was the editorial (redacción) on news articles where no individual author is credited? Unless it comes from a more reputable source (such as articles issued by Notimex), I think these articles' authors can be omitted if they are just written by the editorial, as one can cite from which newspaper or website came from. -Gouleg (TalkContribs) 16:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Two charts consolidated

edit

The two charts in the “statistics” section can be and should be consolidated into one chart. Michael E Nolan (talk) 20:23, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Table: new cases per state and date

Would it make sense to continue and add on below table? I've seen similar tables on many other countries COVID-19 pages. Emailsson (talk) 13:20, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notes

Using at least two digits of precision in growth percentages?

edit

Most other countries' articles (see for instance United States, Spain, Italy, and so on) start adding a decimal point and another digit of precision when daily growth percentages in the chart get into the single digits. This helps add more precision and more information as to day-to-day trends. However, in the Mexico article, we don't do this, which means that the daily growth percentages for the last four days, which are 7.6%, 7.7%, 8.3%, and 7.7%, all get rounded to just 8%. I think this should be changed in the chart to show the percentages with a decimal when they're single digit. JZ (talk) 00:29, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Number of COVID-19 cases in Mexico

edit

Many Mexicans cross the US border to get tested for COVID-19 when it isn't easy to get a test in Mexico, the number of COVID-19 cases would be higher than South Africa's (imagine upwards to 2 million in Mexico infected with COVID-19). Hospitals along the US border with Mexico had many patients from across to obtain necessary medical treatment. It is interesting the states of AZ, CA, FL and TX are the hottest spots in both the US and the world, partially from Mexico and note thousands of planes can carry COVID-19 patients further beyond the border states. 2605:E000:100D:C571:8C36:F847:196F:592 (talk) 16:54, 14 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well first off, Wikipedia is not a blog, so if you want to have something changed explain it. Secondly, the US-Mexico border hasn't even opened yet.[1] If you want to make an edit to the page please use the proper format. Sixula (talk) 01:16, 16 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

unclear usage of "before"

edit

"According to the Secretariat of Health, there are three phases before the disease (COVID-19) can be considered as an epidemic in the country". What does "before" mean here? It makes it sound like there is no epidemic yet since phase 3 has not concluded. --Ysangkok (talk) 12:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mexico City

edit

According to this report that was published a few weeks ago, there were over 33,000 excess deaths in Mexico City from 1 April to 20 November, the worst month being May with 9,894 excess deaths (320 per day). I think it would be worth mentioning somewhere. --2001:B07:646C:244E:490D:311F:8100:6C7C (talk) 09:05, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
