Inaccuracies in calculations

[edit]

The calculation of active cases here are incorrect as 15 of the 29 deaths should not be counted in the total number of cases. This is because 15 of the deaths that occurred in Jersey were classified as 'Probable Covid-19' deaths rather than 'Laboratory Proven Covid-19' deaths and therefor are not a part of the 306 confirmed cases, as these people were not proven to have had Covid-19 before they died. Additionally, the graph shows no active cases even though today the Jersey Evening Post reported on a government report (this story has not yet been digitised so I can't send a link at this time) as of the 23rd of May there are 12 active cases, not 0 as shown on the graph. Records of the true number of 'Laboratory Proven Covid-19' deaths is only recorded from the 26th of April as per opendata.gov.je/dataset/coronavirus-covid-19-number-of-cases-in-jersey . I have made a more accurate calculation here: https://i.imgur.com/xU8ee51.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.68.166.59 (talk) 17:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
