There is no case in Karlsruhe. There is one person treated in Karlsruhe, but he is from Nuremberg. And there are numerous other mistakes too. I've counted at least 10. 2003:DE:6F2B:9700:424:D1D6:9549:1A8E (talk) 21:55, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would Steinfeld prefer a time line graphic similar to the one from other countries. At least it is a necessity to not only list absolute numbers but relative changes per day! This is needed to understand the potentially exponential character of such diseases, and to more easily be able to identify potential improvements (decreasing percentages of new cases by time), likewise of course increases in %. This is much more difficult by just stating absolute numbers. Wowbagger2 (talk) 18:16, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For example from Japan? Good idea. The problem I see is that the daily numbers of new cases are currently not well maintained.--walkee^talkee 20:10, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think we really miss percentages of new infections day-to-day. I already had recognized during the China outbreak, that newspaper had difficulties to properly discuss the new infection impact, as they always only reported absolute increases, which are not the right tool to judge on a potentially exponential outbreak. At least wiki had always % increases, a much better to judge on if their are signs of control of new infections (or not). Wowbagger2 (talk) 09:49, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
