Data chart incorrect, please correct

[KriszLengyel]

Hi, great fan of the data & chart, however it is incorrect for Mexico. According to the online data, Mexico´s stringency index was 82.4 in May, but the chart shows only 62.4 (one major horizontal line lower!, 20 points lower than the actual data. Please correct it, I was going to use this chart in a journal article but cannot as it is incorrect.

Thanks in advance for the correction! K. Lengyel

Hi,

Thanks for this! Are you referring to the chart under https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-tracker/blob/master/images/country_charts/Mexico.png?

If so, this chart seems to be correct since it plots Government Response Index rather than the Stringency Index (the GRI for Mexico is ~63 in May, and is now at ~58. The SI as you pointed out correctly, is ~82 in May and currently ~71).

Thanks, Saptarshi.

Hi Saptarshi,

Yes, I refer to that chart, I thought the download contains the GSI, so than I´m a bit lost what´s the difference between Government response Index and the Stringency Index?  I´ll try to check. So the GSI is not available from Github as the GRI? I wanted to use for a publication (citing of course the source).

Thanks again,

Krisztina

Hi,

The Stringency Index (SI) and the Government Response Index (GRI) are two different indices. They're both available in the published data csv.

There's more information on the differences between the two indices here - https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-tracker#our-documentation-and-working-papers-have-more-information.

Currently, we don't publish the chart for Stringency Index v/s Cases/Deaths on the Github repo, but you can set-up this chart with the same dataset.

Saptarshi.

Thanks for the quick response, I´ll check both!

Cheers from Mexico,

Krisztina
