Iron Co. is missing from this listing of Missouri counties. Please try to include it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:2590:23D0:EC01:C8BC:27A9:BDCA ( talk) 19:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Iron County has no confirmed cases as of Apr 10. As such, it is not included on the list. Should cases develop there, it will be added.
I've made maps of most other states, but am unclear about Missouri (and skipped it for that reason). This mostly because there's an extra entry in the table for Kansas City, which is not a county. What would be the best way to represent this data geographically on a county map? Should I add up the cases of the KCMO counties and Kansas City, and add up the populations of the counties, and then calculate the percentage? Some insights from someone who knows the geographic situation better, would be appreciated - thanks! effeiets anders 07:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Not sure how to fix it, but if you click both 'last 15 days' and 'may', you actually do NOT see the days in may. I guess that the 'toggle' buttons cancel eachother out. effeiets anders 00:53, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Apologies - I am new to this - just want to draw this to someone's attention.
Many of the population figures appear to be incorrect. This is giving incorrect statistics in the last column (cases per 100k of population). Clearly St Louis county cannot have almost 50% of population infected with virus (hopefully). But not only St Louis county. There are several I saw that are significantly erroneous.

I know that MO-DHSS might be behind a day or so as they have to gather from the local health departments, but the data on Wikipedia does not need to be realtime. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 23:53, 10 May 2020 (UTC)These include U.S. county and state health departments, multiple national government health departments, as well as data aggregating websites including 1point3acres, Worldometers.info, BNO,and the COVID Tracking Project (testing and hospitalizations), which rely on a combination of reporting from local health departments and local media reports.
Thanks for resolving. Alert Ted ( talk) 15:19, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
