Index case

Hi Shanze1 Thanks for creating this article. You have mentioned Jhunjhunu as Index case but in Timeline as it is mentioned that

On 11 March, an 85-year-old man in Jaipur tested positive who had travel history to Dubai

and

On 18 March, three people of a family tested positive for COVID-19 in Jhunjhunu which took the total cases to seven in the state

. So I think Index case needs to be Jaipur. - Mayankj429 (talk) 16:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mayankj429: It should be, yes. My bad. I'll make the change. Shanze1 (talk) 16:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: Nothing to worry, and i was thinking to expand this article any suggestions are welcome. - Mayankj429 (talk) 16:26, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I'm looking to improve it too. Think we can just create sections similar to other pages. I'll also add a distribution map in a while.Shanze1 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Daily bulletins by Rajasthan Government

Hi Shanze1, Rajasthan government releases bulletins 3 times a day ( 9 AM, 2 PM and 9 PM) and same is reflected on rajswasthya.nic.in but they don't give districtwise deaths on this website but in bulletins it is detailed ( see latest bulletin tweeted by ANI as eg. [1] ). I want to add columns for deaths and recoveries in the Districtwise template in Stats section but i can't find source to this bulletin anywhere. Now what i want to know is that can we use ANI tweets of bulletins as source, i have read WP:TWITTER but haven't get clarity, do let me know. Thanks - Mayankj429 (talk) 11:10, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mayankj429: Such details are hard to come by for Tamil Nadu page too atm. But I think these tweets can be used in this case since ANI is a reliable handle and they're also citing the Rajasthan Health Department. Well it's clearly a screengrab of the bulletin itself. So we can go ahead. And maybe when we find the original source later on, can replace them with those. Shanze1 (talk) 11:54, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: Ok then i will add these details in the table and cite ANI. Thanks. - Mayankj429 (talk) 12:01, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Autoupdate of epidemiological data

Hi @Bodhisattwa: As per this revision done by you, data shown in infobox now is not uptodate, manual updating seems better to me as Rajasthan government updates the numbers three times a day on rajswasthya.nic.in, and to reflect that here it could be done manually only. Even main article 2020 coronavirus pandemic in India is updating data manually as per MoHFW updates it twice a day. - Mayankj429 (talk) 09:28, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now, I have updated the Wikidata till 24 April 2020. - Mayankj429 (talk) 11:04, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mayankj429:, thanks. we are a group of volunteers working everyday on Wikidata to update each states, UTs and districts. As this is a huge task to update the data from all over the country, it may take some time, but usually we finish it by the day. The code included in the infobox is to reduce the workload of Wikipedia editors to do the same thing manually everyday. Anyway, if you think manual editing is better to update in real time, which is true, its totally ok to remove the code. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 13:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mayankj429:, I have removed the code for Rajasthan as we usually take some time to update this state, which might not be good when reflected in Wikipedia. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bodhisattwa: Let this stay, as now I will update Rajasthan's wikidata daily at the end of the day so that it don't show backdated cases. - Mayankj429 (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mayankj429:, thanks for your kind help. We have a project page here on Wikidata, if you feel interested to contribute. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 15:35, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clinical tests

@Mayankj429 and Shanze1:, I am looking for clinical tests conducted or samples collected in Rajasthan. Is there any place where this is documented date wise? I couldnt find it archived anywhere http://rajswasthya.nic.in/. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 13:25, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bodhisattwa: No, I don't know of any. Shanze1 (talk) 14:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bodhisattwa: Rajasthan government do share total samples tested till date in their daily bulletins, but that bulletins are no where on website, if you use Telegram than their is a channel which shares daily bulletins of all states each day in it, you can look into it for each day's tested samples, here is the link to the channel t.me/indiacovid.- Mayankj429 (talk) 15:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1 and Mayankj429:, thanks. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 15:34, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding mismatch with legends in the Map of districts with confirmed cases

Hi Shanze1, this is just to bring in your notice that the legends you mentioned in the Map of districts with confirmed cases have mismatch with the actual no. of confirmed cases districts have (Eg. - Jaipur lies in 5000-9999 as per the map while it should be in 1000-4999, similarly Jodhpur should be in 500-999 but shown in 1000-4999), I think this is due to new legends used as they are different from previous legends, which were -

1000+ confirmed cases

500–999 confirmed cases

100–499 confirmed cases

50–99 confirmed cases

10–49 confirmed cases

1–9 confirmed cases

please have a look at it. And Thanks for the map of deaths in the districts. - Mayankj429 (talk) 07:17, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mayankj429, Hi, thanks. I forgot to change the legend which I used for TN. I'll fix it in a moment. Shanze1 (talk) 07:29, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Updating daily charts and stats again

Hello @Mayankj429:. I don't know why you stopped updating charts last year in June. Hoping to see you again now that they're updated until today. Also, any easy way to get daily active cases except doing confirmed - deceased - recovered in Excel? CC @TrendSPLEND: Also, it would be nice to fix the grid in the charts where dates are crammed up.
