Add positive ATK tests to daily new cases? #114

Closed chrisadas closed 2 years ago

Should they be added? Or perhaps a new column with new cases combining official number and ATK test?

No they should not be added because of double counting issues. It's not possible to tell how many atk become confirmed cases. It is already recorded In a seperate column and shown on testing plot. I did originally show this number of the cases by type plot but that has the same problem that it is showing a misleading number because there could be double counting. It's also unclear that atk isn't just finding more of the undiscovered infections that lack of pcr testing could find so adding it now could create a misleading trend

This is the plot ATK is current shown in. I'm open to other ideas to show it more prominently on the site but I think adding to cases is going to be misleading. image
