The coloured background[edit]

This graph fills a need, and is excellent in all respects - except for the coloured background. To my mind this adds nothing, but makes it harder to read. Could the background be changed back to plain white, please? GrahamN (talk) 18:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes no problem. It will be changed with the next update. -- Grochim (talk) 04:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graph title[edit]

The specific swine flu strain is 2009 A(H1N1). A(H1N1) on its own could be referring to seasonal H1N1 as well. I think a more specific title would be something like 2009 A(H1N1) cases, since the strain was not seen before 2009. - cyclosarin (talk) 09:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively it could mention the 2009 pandemic like the logarithmic graph does. cyclosarin (talk) 09:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graph scaling[edit]

It is strange to choose to scale deaths at ~1/5 of total cases ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.220.21.71 (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Please can you scale both curves so that they end up at roughly the top right of the chart? If they're not on the same axis, there's no reason to make one look artificially low. 99of9 (talk) 05:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see the graph in log scale vs linear scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.91.45.231 (talk) 17:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone reedit this graph with the Deaths Vs infections ratio at 1:1? There is absolutely no need to depict a death rate as 50 times its relative value, as it only adds to the histeria. --89.152.220.155 (talk) 17:32, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updating[edit]

I have been updating this from WHO information for a while now but will no longer be able to do so. If it continues to be used then I encourage others to update it. The source Excel file is here (2007 version) and it is fairly self explanatory. |→ Spaully ^τ 18:17, 5 July 2009 (GMT)

I just did an update. Later I'll address the suggestions above. ike9898 (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating this graph. Please, try to update the logarythmic version, which is much more interesting than this linear version: only from the log version you can draw conclusions on the speeding or slowing of the growth. Thanks. 201.82.129.18 (talk) 00:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WHO has recently stopped updating its case numbers. If anybody wants to continue updates, we might have to use ECDC information instead. We could identify this change by using a different color (ie. green). 203.184.2.211 (talk) 07:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WHO has updated their statistics on 27 July for the first time in 3 weeks. The graph can also be updated based on WHO's data. (Sorry, I can't). Wikipedian64 (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
