Talk:Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia

Should Doutta Galla Yarraville Village aged care facility and Florence Aged Care Facility be included in the clusters? (17th August 2020)

Should these aged care homes be included in clusters?

I think it's a good idea to include them. At the moment, I'm just including the ones on the DHHS report, however the DHHS is only reporting on the bigger aged care outbreaks at the moment. As the DHHS isn't reporting on the smaller scale outbreaks, we're having ones such as Japara Goonawarran creep up for the first time with 87 cases and the Cumberland Manor cluster appeared today with 93 cases. It is a big hassle to search through media reports to find other clusters, but I think notable ones like these should be included. Keroks (talk) 10:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Are we aware of any additional outbreaks? I've also found this one Japara Elanora in Brighton with 33 cases. There are a few other Japara homes with outbreaks. I'm concerned if these numbers are being bundled with other clusters already, or that they are just too low amount that the DHHS isn't reporting them yet. And also getting updates numbers from these homes may take a lot of media searching. Keroks (talk) 13:09, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

State and Territory new cases timeline graph needs more detail

Squishing the whole history into one timeline means you get a general overview, but makes it difficult to see what's going on right now. Is there an easy way to add a radio button for the graph "Daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Australian States and Territories." so that people can show either the complete graph for a State or just restrict the graph to just the last 28 days?

And, ideally community transmission should be split out from hotel quarantine cases. (114.78.122.119 (talk) 23:31, 27 September 2020 (UTC))

I think the page is designed to give a holistic view of the entire pandemic, not necessarily to track the specifics regarding the roadmap set out by the Victorian government. Maranello10 (talk) 13:04, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Note we already have Warning: Template include size is too large. see Wikipedia:Template limits#Post-expand include size, really we have to be reducing something. This could be done by changing the graphs. We could plot the previous months onto an image and include the image, and then only have the latest 28 days (OR MONTH) created using the templates. So we can probably kill two cats with this one fix. I changed reflist to the Wiki markup so some of the references now reappear. We will need user:Keroks to like this, as they are doing most of the editing lately. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps we could drop many of the infographic references and just include a link to the index of them. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Graeme Bartlett:, I'm good with anything as long as I can keep doing the daily updates. I've replaced all the infographic references as links instead so hopefully they will lessen the load? Keroks (talk) 12:23, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

That seems to have overcome the problem. It is not just a load problem, but that the final stuff on the page was not rendering at all. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Do the numbers not add up?

Just wondering if someone knows why the total cases - deaths - active cases doesn't equal recoveries. Also on Worldometer (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/) their active cases graph still has 1853 as of the 5th of Feb which is much different to the 52 which this wiki has. 28,848-909-26083=1856 not 52.

From the government at a glance website https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers#at-a-glance 28,848-909-52 =27,887 so shouldn't the recoveries be 27,887? Or maybe as the 52 is an estimate so is the recoveries but it seems so different..

Hope this makes sense. Maybe I am missing something here.

Our numbers are based on what the Australian Government and State Governments have been reporting. NSW is the big outlier here as their numbers do not add up to cases - deaths - recoveries = active. Basically because they stopped reporting recoveries last year and even when they did they were always under-reporting them. For their active cases, they only report "active" as local cases that were acquired in the last four weeks. This pretty much means that all cases in hotel quarantine aren't counted as "Active" for NSW, which is different to the rest of the states. Keroks (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Vaccine statistics

Do you think now the vaccine roll out has started the page should add a graph for vaccines per day like some other countries have such as Israel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Israel#Statistics HelperAnt (talk) 03:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC) or UK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_Kingdom#Vaccination or Bulgaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Bulgaria#Vaccinations HelperAnt (talk) 03:33, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
