File talk:H5N1 Human Mortality.png

This wonderful chart is by Waitak. Request instructions on updating it. As of June 12, 2007, last update shown is from early April, when Egypt was reporting a low-mortality outbreak and Indonesian cases were not being reported to the WHO at all. Unfortunately, maintaining the graphs requires getting an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet from Waitak. Does anyone know how to contact him or ask for it?

Waitak's directions "[assume] that you have access to the spreadsheet H5N1.sxc, which you'll have to obtain from me personally. This spreadsheet is an OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet, contructed using version 1.1.5. You can use a later version (version 2.x is very nice) but please don't save your work as anything later than a version 1.1.5 spreadsheet, so that people with older copies can continue to edit it."

Waitak's Instructions - 'Maintaining graphs'
I maintain Template:H5N1 case graph (used in Global spread of H5N1) and Template:H5N1 Human Mortality (used in Transmission and infection of H5N1). I may be away from computer access for a week or two from time to time, and would hate for these not to be up to date, in case there are WHO updates during those times. Would anybody be willing to pinch hit in case I'm unable to get to a computer to update them? I've written some detailed instructions on what to do here. If you've ever used OpenOffice calc and GIMP, you're already qualified. If not, and you'd like to learn a couple of awesome tools, the directions are plenty complete enough to learn what you need to know. Once you've learned how to do it, it only takes about 15 minutes to do an update, so it's not a major time commitment. Any takers? Waitak 09:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
