The nature of recovered information is bit misleading at the moment. It only contains cases that HS has been able to confirm from their sources. In reality the amount is of course higher but because this is not public information it hard to show values that would reflect the current situation. I have few ideas about this:

  • Lets keep the value as it is, lets just figure out better way to inform where this value is from?
  • Lets estimate the recovered cases eg. if the case is over two weeks old it is "recovered"
  • Lets remove recovered information completely?

Any thoughts?

I think it might be good to get rid of recovered altogether. It's misleading at best. Estimating recovered should be based on some official formula and recommendations and at least I am not aware of such formula.

Agree, lets remove it, recovered information is just completely misleading at the moment.
