Given that cases keep coming in daily, would someone be able to edit the maps to reflect new changes? Thanks. TheGreatSG'rean ( talk) 01:59, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Currently, the World Health Organization is releasing daily reports on confirmed cases in the countries that report to them. It lists that China has 5997 confirmed cases (including 8 from Hong Kong, 7 from Macau, and 8 from Taipei. I think we should use this for the table data because if any source should know confirmed cases, it should be the WHO. It also has other countries like the US, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Etc. Thanks for reading. Mase268 ( talk) 20:49, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Colorado was colored blue after the CDPHE announced a case in northern Colorado, as well as Lakewood, Colorado. Both have resulted in negative tests now. Should the blue color on Colorado be removed, or should a new color be added to represent regions with suspected cases that were later confirmed negative? Codered999 ( talk) 14:17, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
IMO - If it has been reported that no confirmed or suspected cases exist in a state, it make sense to remove the blue color. I would leave the red. The high level details should be in the article. It would be nice to see all the blue states slowly change back. Zygerth ( talk) 15:03, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to confirm what should be done about suspected cases (with valid news sources) that turned out negative (based on updated sources, and not just in the maps as a previous discussion mentioned, but the article text as well). I think they should be removed as it would no longer be relevant, and would look awfully bloated and silly especially in the long term, but it also leaves the possibly awkward situation where sources are needed for the absence of content. Should we just delete the entire entry and cite the source in the edit summary then? T.c.w7468 ( talk) 03:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC) edited 03:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi folks. This article claims "On 27 January, an American national who had arrived from Wuhan was confirmed as the second case" in Nepal. WHO's January 29 situation report disagrees; it still only shows one case in Nepal.
This article is probably why somebody changed the table of cases this evening, to show Nepal having two. Can you folks either confirm this second case, or remove it so it doesn't cause further confusion? Thanks. -- Jw 193 ( talk) 05:58, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

So, as of 31 January 2020, there are 41 people that are suspected to have coronavirus infection in Kazakhstan. I hope somebody can make a map - the suspected cases were reported in Nur-Sultan and Almaty cities, which are territorial subdivisions on the same level as regions (oblasts). I think the map might be needed, but you can tell me if it shouldn't be in the article. Lockenhart ( talk) 16:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I have added the map of united Korea - both because there does not exist a blank map of the DPRK of the appropriate template, and because it is one country de jure. May it be? Nobody had mentioned the cases in Sinuiju on this page before my addition, so I saw this fitting.-- Adûnâi ( talk) 00:38, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
@ Pigsonthewing Why do you keep deleting the specifics of the information of the article I am referring to (the fact the suspected cases were intended to be quarantined for two weeks)? And why are you reformulating my sentence? What is wrong with my "cases were suspected and promptly quarantined"? The only iffy thing to me is that I am unsure whether patients/people can be called "cases" - but that's the way the article gives it. At the same time, my construction tries not to quote the said article verbatim, whereas yours does ("suspected cases in Sinuiju were quarantined"). Also, lol at the reason: "Ungramatical and malformed date" (January 23d is one of the options, although I concede that 23 January is the standard in this article, but gramar? Is my gramar wrong here?)-- Adûnâi ( talk) 17:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

The number of cases, outside China, is now so big that we need to start summarising sections, and trimming excessive detail, from this article.
Also, the article now has 199,545 bytes of markup. The largest section, United States, alone has 18,575 bytes, while Singapore has ~24Kb in two sub-sections. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:53, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Please correct the total case number and add 1 more to canada with source, total is now that 23,865 but Canada is 5 not 4 What math is this, correct those total cases numbers thank you. -- Roi Johnson ( talk) 00:10, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
When I look at earlier pages, I still see current data for the number of infected or dead. Is it possible to see historical data, i.e. data for earlier days.
I ask this since it is interesting to see the growth of the number of infected. Current growth means that the number of infected doubles every five days. It is too early to study this outside China, since many of these cases are people who have visited China, but eventually the growth rate is of great importance...
So in short I suggest that a table with historical data is inserted or an explanation is included how earlier data can be seen.

In confirmed cases in Taiwan, there's written Taiwanese Nationalist in abroad Ship which currently in Japan got infected. Should we put person which infected outside their country? Wisang17 ( talk) 01:50, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Because this article was too long for reader to read the case in their country, I suggested that this article split into 3 articles according to the regions, which for example as 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in Asia, 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in Europe, and 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in Americas. The main article will still like this, but the sections needs to trim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.137.171.220 ( talk) 00:44, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Because there already have a split article about the outbreak in Mainland China, why not have separate article about the outbreak in certain countries. Chinese wiki now already have separate article about the outbreak in Japan [1], Hong Kong, [2] Macau, and Taiwan. Why english doesn't? The purpose of the split is to more get in depth info about their case in certain countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.69.53.68 ( talk) 02:28, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

There are currently ~37 countries marked as "suspected" on the map. By contrast, there are only 16 countries listed as suspected on this wiki page. The practice on this page seems to be to remove countries if the suspected cases turn out to be negative. I agree with that practice. However, it appears that suspected cases are not being removed from the map. For example, Switzerland reported two suspected case on the 26th, confirmed negative on the 28th, and yet they still appear on the map five days later. Yesterday, I tried to update the map to make it match what has been reported on this page, but User:Eray08yigit reverted, apparently not caring whether out-of-date suspicions remain on the map.
Because of their transient nature, knowing which countries have reported suspected cases isn't actually very encyclopedic. However, if the map is going to include the suspected cases, then I think the map should definitely be kept up-to-date and remove those countries that are determined to be negative.
I also raised this issue at Talk:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak#Suspected cases on map, though it got archived without any reply. Dragons flight ( talk) 18:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
The suspected cases are useless information. Anyone who has traveled from China and has flu like symptoms is a "suspected case". Most suspected cases do not end up being confirmed. The map should stick to confirmed cases instead of suspected cases popping in and out of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pestilence Unchained ( talk • contribs) 07:04, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes I definitely agree that suspected cases that were determined to be negative should be removed. I'll remove the ones I know about, if anyone else has sources for other countries testing negative, it would be great if you could share them. -- Ratherous ( talk) 07:29, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

The Diamond Princess is no longer quarantined. Most of the passengers have left to their countries of origin. Some of them carriers of the virus. It is possible that some infected individuals are are doubly counted both for the ship and for their country, as the US, for example, knowingly repatriated infected individuals. There should be some separation between cases in a country and cases from diamond princess that were imported into the country. E.g. in the USA, 18 of the cases are actually from Diamond Princess. In Israel the single case is from there. If they are counted for the US and Israel, then the 600+ infected individuals from the cruise ship that are treated in Japan should be counted in Japan. Possible solution is to assign all of these cases to Diamond Princess, another is to assign each of the cases to the country of treatment with or without separation in parentheses for cases from Diamond Princess. The CDC now have split the counting to cases discovered in country which originated from travel (to China), cases that originated from in country person-to-person transmission, and from repatriation (the groups from Wuhan and the group from DP). This probably gives the best picture of how well the virus is controlled in each country, and how much is "in the wild". Not sure that this can be done for each and every country, but the info is out there, and it may be the best table to have (with an unknown source column as well) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubtanytruth ( talk • contribs) 00:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
because there are more cases related to the coronavirus outbreak in Europe, can someone split European confirmed cases section to the own article named 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Europe ?

What is to become of th article? Now it has some outdated info about Americas and Oceania, with inadequate or no summaries of the other continents. It seems the discussion, now archived, was 3 in favour of the split, with 4 against it. Most of the content was moved by User:Nickayane99. The split should be made only when a suitable summary of the content stays in the article. The table 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by country and territory and the map Map of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak are present in the main 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak article. The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by city is outdated, inaccurate, and now mostly unsourced (anybody adding/chaning dots without providing refs). There is hardly any useful info left; the article consists of a number of confusing sections. Without the splits, the article was perhaps too long and unwieldy, but useful. I feel like returning the sections back for the time being, until somebody makes a decent split. WikiHannibal ( talk) 08:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

I have/had a similar idea but since I'm not from a life sciences background I'm not sure so I mention it here ( correct me if I'm wrong about anything it's my first time doing this in Wikipedia ). In the table '2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by country and territory' it would be a great idea to see a column showing the number of deaths as a percentage ( or relative stat. ) of the 'Confirmed' figures as well as another column showing the number of 'Recoveries' as a percentage ( or relative stat. ) of the 'Confirmed' figures ( is CFR a sort of measure of this ? ). How can this be best done so that the percentages are autmated ( update themselves ) whenever the absolute figures are updated manually ( I presume?)? Given instructions I'd be willing to carry out the changes. Darbehdar ( talk) 11:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

I think we should use this for the table data because if any source should know confirmed cases, it should be the WHO. It also has other countries like the US, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Etc.

Colorado was colored blue after the CDPHE announced a case in northern Colorado, as well as Lakewood, Colorado. Both have resulted in negative tests now. Should the blue color on Colorado be removed, or should a new color be added to represent regions with suspected cases that were later confirmed negative?

IMO - If it has been reported that no confirmed or suspected cases exist in a state, it make sense to remove the blue color. I would leave the red. The high level details should be in the article. It would be nice to see all the blue states slowly change back. Zygerth ( talk) 15:03, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to confirm what should be done about suspected cases (with valid news sources) that turned out negative (based on updated sources, and not just in the maps as a previous discussion mentioned, but the article text as well). I think they should be removed as it would no longer be relevant, and would look awfully bloated and silly especially in the long term, but it also leaves the possibly awkward situation where sources are needed for the absence of content. Should we just delete the entire entry and cite the source in the edit summary then? T.c.w7468 ( talk) 03:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC) edited 03:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi folks. This article claims "On 27 January, an American national who had arrived from Wuhan was confirmed as the second case" in Nepal. WHO's January 29 situation report disagrees; it still only shows one case in Nepal.
This article is probably why somebody changed the table of cases this evening, to show Nepal having two. Can you folks either confirm this second case, or remove it so it doesn't cause further confusion? Thanks. -- Jw 193 ( talk) 05:58, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

So, as of 31 January 2020, there are 41 people that are suspected to have coronavirus infection in Kazakhstan. I hope somebody can make a map - the suspected cases were reported in Nur-Sultan and Almaty cities, which are territorial subdivisions on the same level as regions (oblasts). I think the map might be needed, but you can tell me if it shouldn't be in the article. Lockenhart ( talk) 16:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I have added the map of united Korea - both because there does not exist a blank map of the DPRK of the appropriate template, and because it is one country de jure. May it be?

@ Pigsonthewing Why do you keep deleting the specifics of the information of the article I am referring to (the fact the suspected cases were intended to be quarantined for two weeks)? And why are you reformulating my sentence? What is wrong with my "cases were suspected and promptly quarantined"? The only iffy thing to me is that I am unsure whether patients/people can be called "cases" - but that's the way the article gives it. At the same time, my construction tries not to quote the said article verbatim, whereas yours does ("suspected cases in Sinuiju were quarantined"). Also, lol at the reason: "Ungramatical and malformed date" (January 23d is one of the options, although I concede that 23 January is the standard in this article, but gramar? Is my gramar wrong here?)-- Adûnâi ( talk) 17:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

When I look at earlier pages, I still see current data for the number of infected or dead. Is it possible to see historical data, i.e. data for earlier days.
I ask this since it is interesting to see the growth of the number of infected. Current growth means that the number of infected doubles every five days. It is too early to study this outside China, since many of these cases are people who have visited China, but eventually the growth rate is of great importance...
So in short I suggest that a table with historical data is inserted or an explanation is included how earlier data can be seen.

There are currently ~37 countries marked as "suspected" on the map. By contrast, there are only 16 countries listed as suspected on this wiki page. The practice on this page seems to be to remove countries if the suspected cases turn out to be negative. I agree with that practice. However, it appears that suspected cases are not being removed from the map. For example, Switzerland reported two suspected case on the 26th, confirmed negative on the 28th, and yet they still appear on the map five days later. Yesterday, I tried to update the map to make it match what has been reported on this page, but User:Eray08yigit reverted, apparently not caring whether out-of-date suspicions remain on the map.
Because of their transient nature, knowing which countries have reported suspected cases isn't actually very encyclopedic. However, if the map is going to include the suspected cases, then I think the map should definitely be kept up-to-date and remove those countries that are determined to be negative.
I also raised this issue at Talk:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak#Suspected cases on map, though it got archived without any reply. Dragons flight ( talk) 18:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
The suspected cases are useless information. Anyone who has traveled from China and has flu like symptoms is a "suspected case". Most suspected cases do not end up being confirmed.

The Diamond Princess is no longer quarantined. Most of the passengers have left to their countries of origin. Some of them carriers of the virus. It is possible that some infected individuals are are doubly counted both for the ship and for their country, as the US, for example, knowingly repatriated infected individuals. There should be some separation between cases in a country and cases from diamond princess that were imported into the country. E.g. in the USA, 18 of the cases are actually from Diamond Princess. In Israel the single case is from there. If they are counted for the US and Israel, then the 600+ infected individuals from the cruise ship that are treated in Japan should be counted in Japan. Possible solution is to assign all of these cases to Diamond Princess, another is to assign each of the cases to the country of treatment with or without separation in parentheses for cases from Diamond Princess. The CDC now have split the counting to cases discovered in country which originated from travel (to China), cases that originated from in country person-to-person transmission, and from repatriation (the groups from Wuhan and the group from DP). This probably gives the best picture of how well the virus is controlled in each country, and how much is "in the wild". Not sure that this can be done for each and every country, but the info is out there, and it may be the best table to have (with an unknown source column as well) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubtanytruth ( talk • contribs) 00:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

What is to become of th article? Now it has some outdated info about Americas and Oceania, with inadequate or no summaries of the other continents. It seems the discussion, now archived, was 3 in favour of the split, with 4 against it. Most of the content was moved by User:Nickayane99. The split should be made only when a suitable summary of the content stays in the article. The table 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by country and territory and the map Map of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak are present in the main 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak article. The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by city is outdated, inaccurate, and now mostly unsourced (anybody adding/chaning dots without providing refs). There is hardly any useful info left; the article consists of a number of confusing sections. Without the splits, the article was perhaps too long and unwieldy, but useful. I feel like returning the sections back for the time being, until somebody makes a decent split. WikiHannibal ( talk) 08:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

I have/had a similar idea but since I'm not from a life sciences background I'm not sure so I mention it here ( correct me if I'm wrong about anything it's my first time doing this in Wikipedia ). In the table '2019–20 coronavirus outbreak by country and territory' it would be a great idea to see a column showing the number of deaths as a percentage ( or relative stat. ) of the 'Confirmed' figures as well as another column showing the number of 'Recoveries' as a percentage ( or relative stat. ) of the 'Confirmed' figures ( is CFR a sort of measure of this ? ). How can this be best done so that the percentages are autmated ( update themselves ) whenever the absolute figures are updated manually ( I presume?)?
