Recovered people in Poland.

I saw that @Camomilla: added 5 more recovered patients on 25 March [1], but we still don't have any official update from MOHPL, and we know from previous "fake" news about recovered patients so this one also can be wrong(?). @Boud:, @MarioGom: what you think about that source? Natanieluz (talk) 19:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Natanieluz: I cannot speak Polish and I don't know anything about Wirtualna Polska. Looking at it with Google Translate, the report looks legit. However, we should consider whether we really want to include a column with isolated reports of recoveries (e.g. coming only from a single city or province) when there are no national statistics published. --MarioGom (talk) 19:44, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioGom and Natanieluz: pięć osób, u których wcześniej stwierdzono zakażenie koronawirusem, po raz drugi przeszły testy bez wyniku pozytywnego. ... O pięciu zdrowych już osobach poinformowała w środę wieczorem Agnieszka Strzępka, rzeczniczka wojewody lubelskiego. Two tests with negative results. No info on the time delay between them. There's a WHO press conference technical definition here (archived), see pages 6 and 7. MR = Michael Ryan points out that after a severe illness, full recovery, for when your body gets fully back to normal, can take months, so its meaning is rather qualitative. But he refers to a "technical" definition of two negative tests separated by 24 hours, which MVK = Maria Van Kerkhove confirms, but she also mentions that various countries have their own definitions, including "clinical recovery". This is from 9 March, so maybe there's a more standardised definition proposed by WHO since then, to try to get statistics with a uniform meaning worldwide. I couldn't find one.

Agnieszka Strzępka is announced as the official voivodeship spokesperson on the official LU voivodeship website. Wp.pl is a big internet website that has been around for a long time. To me this seems a reliable enough source. (It could be seen as more reliable than the MOH info, since WP publishes in Poland while the main MOH announcements are published in California on an unreliable publishing platform.) I don't see why we need to wait for a MOH announcement.

A per-voivodeship recoveries table would make sense if someone, or better a few people, is/are motivated to keep it up-to-date. A copy/paste/edit of the deaths table would be enough to initialise it. For me, the national recovery total column (with several references directly in that column, if necessary, or single references if the MOH decides to give per-day summaries of two-negative-tests-separated-by-24h recoveries) is enough.

ok, thanks - so as of 26 March we have a total of 6 recovered Natanieluz (talk) 22:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Verified information about deaths in Poland.

@Boud: why you start adding unverified information about more deaths patients?, i can agree that we should add recovered patients (because as far we still dont have official info about that), but with deaths we have official info, (i really don't care if Polish MOH are publishing official information on - like you said couple times - California server (Twitter) as far as that info is legit because is from Polish goverment who is operationg that Twitter account - is verified, is official. So now we should add EVERY information from every news sites, only because MOHPL didn't deny that info? there's no way that Polish officials will deny or confirm every information on internet...(I need to be clear - I'am not supporting Polish goverment even, to be clear- I am against, I also think that we dont have 100% info whats going on, but we need to be neutral right?, Natanieluz (talk) 12:14, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Natanieluz: as far as that info is legit because is from Polish goverment who is operationg that Twitter account Twitter intervenes in tweets according to its own private policy; it's very unlikely for information to be published about whether Twitter has blocked or altered any MOHPL tweets or whether it has any controls to prevent fake MOHPL tweets. The software is secret and no Polish government agency nor citizens' groups in Poland can check the reliability of tweets. In any case, that's an issue that we very likely have to live with for quite some time, since it's unlikely that the MOH will switch to a more reliable social network of networks for publishing brief announcements, and it's not the main question here.

I'm not proposing that we add every information from every news site. Probably the first thing we should do is decide which talk page these types of issues should be discussed on, because splitting the discussion between three pages will make it hard to follow. I'm happy to follow whatever consensus emerges, but there has to be a proper discussion with arguments for/against. It's also not fair to only ping active users; others are likely to be interested.

Template_talk:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_data/Poland_medical_cases_by_voivodeship#Death_reports_offset_by_a_week? Proposal which had no responses in over 24 hours.
Talk:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Poland#Any_more_confirmation_or_denials_of_the_Warsaw_MSWiA_19_March_and_24_March_COVID-19_deaths? Pointer to original discussion.

Proposal: We centralise discussions for using non-official sources for deaths on the "main" page, Talk:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Poland, because that's where users who are interested are most likely to check. Any objections? Boud (talk) 15:06, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

agree - @Boud: I have already state my point of view on Talk:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Poland Natanieluz (talk) 18:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

total tested

Where is the total tested number coming from, I've checked the refs and cannot find that.

Hi! @199.27.253.151: that total tested number we have from Polish Ministry of Health raports on MOHPL Twitter e.g 1 2 this same info you can also find on MOHPL Facebook page page e.g 1, Natanieluz (talk) 19:45, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
