Florida

Are we listing the counts for residents, or residents and non-residents? Infinite mission (talk) 18:15, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infinite mission, sorry for the delayed response. Yes, we are including both resident and non-resident deaths in the Florida totals. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 14:20, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EDG 543, what are we doing about cases? Infinite mission (talk) 18:53, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Infinite mission, my apologies. We are including resident and non-resident deaths as well as cases. Sorry for the confusion. Is there an issue with the data? Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 18:59, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For a while we had only resident cases listed. As long as it is clearly stated which is the case I do not see a big problem. I assume the number of non-resident case is considerably higher in Florida than in other states. This should give us a pause, however, concerning the totals in this template. Non-resident cases from Florida might be double counted, which skews the data. --Qumranhöhle (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Infinite mission and Qumranhöhle: To avoid double counting, we just have to be careful to get the "Total Cases" number from the dashboard and avoid anything else in relation to the cases. No math necessary on our part. Deaths do have to be manually added together, however (Florida Resident Deaths and Non-Resident Deaths). Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 15:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I may misunderstand something, but the total cases include non-residents. If those Florida non-residents are counted by other states as "their" residents, there is double counting. --Qumranhöhle (talk) 16:01, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Qumranhöhle, you would be correct in saying that, but I am not sure what we would do about that. Exclude non-resident cases/deaths? Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 21:02, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table No Longer Maintained?

Hello. Thank you for the effort of updating this table throughout the pandemic. I write to confirm that this table is no longer being maintained with current data. Again, thank you. Bobanello (talk) 20:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)BobAnello[reply]

@Bobanello: Shouldn't it be removed from the Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States page? Should the template be deleted if not used and outdated? Jroberson108 (talk) 01:21, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jroberson108: Can we reinstate the table? I can update the figures. Thanks Stattracker24 (talk) 14:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Startracker24: Template has been reinstated both here and at Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States#Measuring case and mortality rates. Jroberson108 (talk) 22:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jroberson108. Startracker24. Please add date to table caption. Or above it. Can this table be automatically filled in daily? See also this US map and its data source:
File:Map of cumulative COVID-19 death rates by US state.png
I think the "recoveries" column should be removed. Lots of people have recovered without being recorded in databases. --Timeshifter (talk) 04:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Timeshifter: There is no module data that I'm aware of that can be used for automation. It looks like @Startracker24: manually updates the data and the footer's "Updated" date on a weekly bases, which seems acceptable for me. You two can discuss if any content needs moving or removing. I suggest doing it a new section so this section's topic of "maintenance" stays focused. Jroberson108 (talk) 07:00, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 May 2021

Hello. I have over the months used this table's case and death counts by state and territory to monitor COVID-19. I recently ovserved that the case and death count as well as the total for those table column, appear not to have changed in several days yet the notation at the bottom of the table states "Most recent edit: 11:30, Friday, May 14, 2021 (UTC)." If this table is no longer being updated with current data, it may offer clarity to readers to note the effective date of the table data. Thank you Bobanello. Bobanello (talk) 13:39, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Note: Since this is a collaborative effort and edits made are voluntary in nature. Its expected to be updated by Wikipedia contributors soon. Thank you. Run n Fly (talk) 18:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022

This template is being updated for content, but the sources are not. What gives? --SVTCobra 01:15, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SVTCobra:  Done Just updated both. --Horizon Sunset (talk) 04:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per capita

Can a 'per capita' column be added to the table? I think it would be very useful as US states have populations from nearly 40 million to under 600 thousand. SVTCobra 21:55, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
