Talk:2009 flu deaths by region

Population figures should be updated
This table does not use the most recent available figures even if consultations are limited to wikipedia. The one case where I have studied the issue closely is Utah, where the figure used is not the 2008 population estimate, which is about 200,000 people greater, which may effect the position in the chart of Utah. Populations should not be based on older stats when wikipedia itself includes the 2008 census estimates for a locality.Johnpacklambert (talk) 02:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

"Ranking" column should be removeed
The point of a sortable table is that you don't have to manually add (and endlessly update) the "Pos." column. That column (and its implicit bias that the rate matters more than the absolute number, which some readers will likely disagree with) should be removed. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
