1st column change edit

This chart was originally coded with the 1st column change showing both the absolute and percent change, e.g. (+7, +4.2%). The chart cannot do this automatically, thus the change values need to be calculated by the editor. This is tedious and error prone, especially when the underlying data gets repeatedly revised. Now that daily absolute changes tend to be three digits, the chart is getting visually very busy with five digit case counts, three digit absolute changes, plus the percent change. While I was applying the latest revisions to the underlying data, I set any deltas that were now incorrect to be auto calculated with just a percent change. Should we switch all other data points to auto calculate? EphemeralErrata (talk) 09:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
