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

Asymptomatic cases

I suggest that we include asymptomatic cases on the template from now on. But as I'm a newbie to templates the only way I could represent asymptomatic cases in a way that would include them in the total number of cases while also not messing up with the number of active cases was this weird looking format full of calculations. I would highly appreciate it if someone could simplify the format. Efekankorpez (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Not a hundred percent sure what you have done with the formulas -- but here's what I have done for 11/30/2020 that seems to work: 2020-11-30;13746;404727;alttot1=82392;638817;137982 YYYY-MM-DD;Total number of deaths; total number of recoveries; alttot1= TOTAL NUMBER OF ACTIVE PATIENTS, calculated by: Total number of cases (symptomatic only) MINUS number of deaths MINUS number of recoveries; TOTAL NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES; SUM of all asymptomatic cases

So for 11/30/2020, you have

2020-11-30;13746;404727; alttot1=Total number of active patients 500865 (total number of patients) - 13746 (total dead) - 404727 (total recovered) = 82392;Total number of active cases 638,817 [sum of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases]; Sum of all asymptotic cases 21,507 (11/25) 22256 (11/26) 23253 (11/27) 23389 (11/28) 22842 (11/29) 24705 (11/30) = 137982 Portugal1337 (talk) 08:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Percentage or absolute option for new infections?

I started a discussion on that topic here Project COVID-19, Medical cases charts - change type. My personal opinion is that absolute change display suits much better in an epidemic's second wave. But also the status quo ante should be kept until some agreement is reached (locally or possibly a consensus in linked discussion). -- Kohraa Mondel (talk) 15:37, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
