Title/terminology
[edit]See Template talk:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus data/Singapore medical cases#Untraced. In that table, showing that an individual case is "untraced" to any of the groups considered by the MOH to be "clusters" is doable with requiring analysis of the sources.
But in this table, to use the MOH statements about the numbers of cases for which "contract tracing is underway", without requiring analysis of the not-officially-clusters-but-small-linked-groups, what we provide is effectively isolated cases. But there are two problems with the term "isolated":
- it doesn't seem to be used officially with this meaning;
- in e.g. this WHO document on contact investigation, "case isolation" on page 6 seems to refer to quarantining, not isolation in the network sense (disconnectedness in mathematical graph theory terminology).
So I've left the word "untraced" in the title and content, but reworded the definition in the Notes. Boud (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
