The Total

I suggest removing the total line from the diagram to make it clearer.--27.104.164.47 14:35, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Data source

Hi Galerita, thank you for this work and for keeping it updated.

What are your data sources? It seems to me that the given references go astray...

Are the data somewhere available in tabular form, or do you aggregate them yourself? Would you share your software?

hi!

user:Galerita: i want to support the request of Quintus V.

the data source is necessary and the R source code would be nice to have, too. -- seth (talk) 23:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

seth The data source is BNO News. The website is here: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ I count daily totals using an Excel spread sheet and track that they agree with, or are close to, the numbers in the table at the top of their page. For example yesterday I could account for 1964 of the 1966 cases reported in Germany on the BNO table when I did my analysis and all 3 deaths. BNO News has the references for each report. There will be many thousands now. I don't know how to give you the R-code.Galerita (talk) 03:51, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

hi Galerita!

thanks for mentioning the data source and explaining your approach. :-) i added the url overleaf.

regarding the source code: if you don't mind (it's not required, but i'd appreciate it), you could add your code below the image just as in File:Inverse.svg for example. -- seth (talk) 08:09, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@Galerita: For Poland and its neighbours, I'm assuming that editors of the individual Wikipedia articles are using the best sources that they can for the horizontal bar charts. You can see File:SARS-CoV-2 infections in and around Poland en.svg for the download/parse script and the octave plotting script called by it. I used <source lang="bash">...</source>, which works much better than <pre>... or <verbatim>...; it avoids parsing special symbols as mediawiki code and it gives a rather nice colour/font presentation of the code. I assume that <source lang="R">...</source> should work - assuming that you accept to licence your R code under a licence acceptable on Commons. I just learnt that CC-BY-SA-4.0 is one-way compatible with the GPLv3 (see the link at the SARS-CoV-2 PL file earlier in this comment).
