Confirmed cases to population ratio - Feature Request #4

Open ajcarney opened 2 years ago

ajcarney commented 2 years ago

I think that it would be interesting to add a confirmed cases to population ratio option displayed as either a decimal or percentage. I think that this should be easy to calculate given that this data is already being parsed. This could also be extended to include deaths to population ratio

Incident rate curves are already included for confirmed cases, daily new confirmed cases, deaths, and daily new deaths. All of these curves are created by taking the value and dividing by the population for that area.

Incident rate curves are similar to what I am requesting but not quite the same. Incident rates are scaled to 100k but I want to see as a percentage how many people have been infected in an area. I think the only change would be multiplying by 100 instead of multiplying by 100,000. I guess because it is such a simple thing and represents something that is basically the same it might end up just cluttering the gui so I'll let you decide if it should be added or not.

Okay, I see what you're saying. I wonder if a better approach to this would be to remove the incident curves from the pick list and then just have an option to display them as incident or percentage or log scale (a selection of data processing just like the filters we've got.

I think that would work well. We should also probably fully remove the confirmed cases incident parsed from John's Hopkin's because we don't use that if it is not gone already. Would these options also take parameters like log base b for logarithms or per n for incident plots.
