Legend labels

@ MusikAnimal: Why is Hospitalizations substituting Recoveries? Semantically, 'hospitalizations' seems to include the vast majority of deaths, some recoveries and some active cases. Furthermore, Confirmed cases should be the sum of the bars, so the last label should be similar to Active cases. Alexiscoutinho ( talk) 20:04, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Alexiscoutinho: We don't have data on recoveries, at least not from nyc.gov. I felt showing hospitalizations was useful. To your second point, I might be misunderstanding how this stacked bar chart should work. From {{ medical cases chart}} (the parent template), it says The expression for total cases has deaths and recoveries automatically subtracted from it. The idea being total cases must include deaths and recoveries (or hospitalizations, in our case), so the bars are stacked on each other to provide a uniform x-scale. When hovering bars, it gives you the number just for that slice. For confirmed cases, this would mean cases where hospitalizations or deaths did not happen. Am I missing something?

Hospitalization

Is it possible to add a hospitalization rate column beside the death rate column? Wikiexplorationandhelping ( talk) 00:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Combined with state?

How is it that New York State shows no deaths until March 14, but New York City shows its first death on March 11 and 4 by March 14. In fact, the State numbers lag about 2 days behind the City until about March 27. Is New York City somehow removed from the State figures? Trackinfo ( talk) 04:50, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply
