Open jcroucher opened 4 years ago

jcroucher commented 4 years ago

Australian recovered numbers seem to be 2-3 days out-of-date with a significant difference. 1,080 vs official government numbers of 2,813

The states aren't reporting the numbers in their own status updates, My recovered data is way out. Recovered is a feel good factor, more than it is a good statistic because how many have recovered at home without being tested and confirmned?

jcroucher commented 4 years ago

I think all states except NSW are reporting recovered data. Eg https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/health+topics/health+topics+a+-+z/covid+2019/latest+updates/confirmed+and+suspected+cases+of+covid-19+in+south+australia

NSW is the only one I can't find reports for.

The government is providing overall recovered data. Sites like this one are calculating NSW data by taking the state reporting from the government reporting. https://covidlive.com.au

Thank you to whomever fixed the New South Wales recovered data as of today.

Im going to close this issue, I think the margins of error are totally acceptable for the amount of data being disseminated on time.. well done.

PS: Other issue sry.

blisx264 commented 4 years ago

Issue should be closed
