Hi @nokyotsu , Sources are not matching, for ex https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ -> 39k https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/04/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ -> 38k https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic_data/United_States_medical_cases_chart -> 34k https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv -> 38k
Not sure, but so many sources almost matching with our data.
Thanks
I understand the values from various sources may not match exactly, but the values show a very large sudden jump on April 16 which, I believe, is not there in any of the sources.
It seems likely to be the extra 3700 ish deaths added by NY recently as a revision:
Not sure why some data sources have it and some don't. You can see some discussion on the talk page of the wikipedia link about the discrepancy.
Perhaps legitimate disagreement over whether data sources want to count only the outcomes of tested cases or not. Since these deaths were not tested, the individuals presumably aren't in the case counts. Which leads to weird possibilities such as deaths and recoveries adding up to more than confirmed cases in the future, or the case fatality rate calculation right now being biased higher since the deaths are in the numerator but not the denominator.
The number of deaths for US appears too high, since April 16 its deviating by more than 4K compared with the latest data on wikipedia. Is there a mistake somewhere?
