Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic data/Scotland medical cases chart

Backlog of positive results since 15/06/20

On the 15th of June the results of UK Govt tests carried out at regional test centres were included on Scot' Govt's stats, 2,275 more positive cases. Should these be added? 82.28.38.0 (talk) 09:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Patients discharged from hospital following positive test

Since 22nd Apr Scottish government figures have included discharged patients who previously tested positive ("recoveries"), as reported by NHS boards. this is the same source as for other figures in this graph. User:Spaastm suggests in an undo that these are not accurate, but nothing in the data descriptions in the source indicates they are any less accurate than the other figures. At least including them gives a more accurate upoer bound on "active cases" (which is what all non-deaths are currently shown labelled as).

i'd support this, given the source is the same. i know the UK government isn't providing this, but at least the scottish government is. Sciuro (talk) 14:09, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

i have now put these data back with a note on the source and clarification that these are hospital discharges rather than "recoveries". we have missed some from the daily data, so i have taken figures from FM statements for 2020-06-27 to 2020-07-10. please discuss here before removing these Sciuro (talk) 15:36, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Suggest adjusting date order and format

As a consumer I would find this easier to read if date order was reversed so most recent data is at the top, with dates in a more human-readable format (e.g. November 19, rather than 2020-11-19) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryHutchison (talk • contribs) 16:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
