"Under treatment" implies it excludes recovered patients. Is that really what's going on here? The curve looks eerily like the total diagnosis counts from Template:2019–20 coronavirus outbreak data/China medical cases chart. Doub (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing graph

[edit]

Very confusing graph looking at 'Confirmed cases (daily)'. The numbers don't agree with the axis. The 3,887 sort of lines up with RH purple 4,000 but the 2,912 does NOT; looks like about 200 not 2,919. Can someone fix this? 12.33.223.215 (talk) 01:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's technically correct - there are two Y-azis, left and right, and depending on which you read, you may get it wrong. It's not wrong (AFAICS), but is very confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.108.211 (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the 3,012 on the right bottom side can be on either graph. Since both graphs use the same colour of marker and the graphs happen to meet at that point. People can get confused very easily, even people who can read this type of double graph without any problems. If someone could give the number 3,837 (the box on the purple graph) a purple colouring it would be fixed. All the best, Taketa (talk) 06:07, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the right axis should have a better scale, 0-9000 when the maximum observation is 3900 doesn't make any sense to me. Regards, AdrianMastronardi (talk) 01:23, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
