I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:50, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Looks like OHA is using "total living cases" as their metric. Does anyone know if that is OHA-specific or a common reporting method? I want to bring it up before we start having confusion. tedder ( talk) 19:09, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

The graph under "Incidents by Day" has a caption under it saying "Lines show trend using a five-day average", while the graph itself says "7 Day Deaths" and "7 Day Cases". I would guess that 7 is the correct number, not 5, since the "7" is part of the graph, but does anyone know for certain? DKMell ( talk) 19:08, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
In the graph under "Incidents by Day", the orange line for the 7-day average number of deaths is so flattened against the bottom (the X-axis) as to be nearly illegible. This happens because it's plotted using the same scale as the number of new cases, which is two orders of magnitude larger. Is it possible to plot the deaths using a different scale than new cases so that both are legible? And maybe show the scale for new deaths on an axis at the right side of the graph (in orange, if you really want to help make it clear what's what). Thanks to anyone who knows how to do this. DKMell ( talk) 19:08, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Is there any reasonable way to draw a line graph showing the cases and deaths over time? Ideally it would size itself to match the numbers and wouldn't have to be regenerated each time we do a daily update to the data. I can do it pretty easily in a spreadsheet, but don't know how it would be done here. Perhaps something like this: Dang, apparently I can't upload an image of the graph. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billsey55 ( talk • contribs) 06:20, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
OK, I embedded a first try at the graph. I'm not figuring out how to display on the X axis fewer day names, such as 28-Feb 2-Mar 5-Mar so they don't end up overlapping. I also don't see any way to add data except manually. Ideally we'd put all the numbers into a database and generate both the box and graph from there... Billsey55 ( talk) 04:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
It might be worthwhile to add another graph, showing a rolling average of new cases and new deaths. When I do that on my local spreadsheet it is looking (today at least) like we're almost a week past peak on new cases and a day past peak on new deaths. This one likely would look better as a line chart with the lines running horizontally. Billsey55 ( talk) 22:57, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

The map really should show cases per capita, not total cases, since Oregon's counties vary wildly in population. An low-population eastern county with a medium number of cases is likely being hit much harder in reality than an urban county with a high number of cases. I wish I had time to do this myself, but unfortunately I don't right now. GeoEvan ( talk) 08:53, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

"The Best Friend method is our way of providing a richer and fuller experience for all of our residents," said Terri Waldroff, managing partner of Heartwood Place. "We design activity stations for each resident based on their life experiences."
River Grove Memory Care in Eugene, for example, shows four complaints racked up since the current owners bought it in 2015. However, searching for the home under three of its previous names and owners shows an additional 31 complaints. Seventeen of those happened in the two years before the current owners took over.It would take a thorough knowledge of the home's history to find them. River Grove used to be Santa Clara Special Care Community. Before that, Sierra Oaks of Santa Clara. Before that, Santa Clara Residential Inn.
The renovation project, which included new carpets, vinyl flooring, paint, furniture, remodeling of social spaces and the addition of state of the art technology, began last July when Terri Waldroff purchased the property.

This was reported a few hours ago, but I thought this might be worthy of inclusion as it may influence infection rates in Oregon (or at least in the county). There are some news articles [1] [2] [3], as well as a mention on Lincoln County's site: [4]
Exceptions:
- Persons with health/medical conditions that preclude or are exacerbated by wearing a face covering.
- Children under the age of 12. Children over the age of 2 but under the age of 12 are encouraged to wear face coverings but not required to do so.
- Persons with disabilities that prevents them from using the face covering as described in this Directive. These persons must be reasonably accommodated to allow them access to goods and services.
- People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public.

Why does the "# of cases" and "# of deaths" columns show the % instead of the actual number? Showing the % is completely meaningless. For example, the % of new cases on 3/15/2021 is 0.11%, which turns out to be 178; however, the % of new cases on 3/30/2020, when the pandemic was in its infancy, is 11% (100 times higher), and yet, the actual number turns out to be 58 (about 2/3 lower). This is not like comparing apples to apples, it is like comparing apples to truck loads of apples.
Please change this reporting to show actual numbers that people can make sense out of.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JerseyJackson ( talk • contribs) 23:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't see the logic. On 3/1/2020, there was ONE case in Oregon. ONE case. There had been a total of ONE case up till then, so the % of new cases was 100%. In your way of thinking, the virus was spreading 909 times FASTER on 3/1/2020 than on 3/15/2021. This is ridiculous!
If you are the person updating the COVID information on this page, THANK YOU!!! However, the percentages that you show are, as I have said previously, COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS. 63.155.61.1 ( talk) 19:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
I would like to discuss the % that is shown in the section "COVID-19 cases in Oregon, United States (vte)" (both the # of cases % and the # of deaths %) with the author. If I am mistaken about how meaningful that number is, than please enlighten me; however, if I am correct, and the number is completely meaningless, then I feel it should be replaced with a meaningful number or a meaningful %.

Hi, the article size is too massive, and I have discovered that this is caused by one massive table where the 'Notes' section is filled with paragraphs of repetitive data. Is there any way on solving this? zsteve21 21:12, 23 September 2021
