Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Lithuania

Official national sources for new cases, deaths, recoveries and testing
As the situation gets more chaotic with more numbers to check, I think it'd be great to make sure that everyone knows official information sources:

The official government COVID-19 news and statistics website is https://koronastop.lrv.lt/.

Most virus-related information is also reported by Ministry of Health (http://sam.lrv.lt/) or National Public Health Center (https://nvsc.lrv.lt/).

Epidemiological data for precise patient routes and case origins is also provided by the National Public Health Center: https://nvsc.lrv.lt/lt/naujienos/covid-19-atveju-epidemiologinio-tyrimo-rezultatai

The official state-owned news source is Lithuanian Radio and Television: https://www.lrt.lt/

Do we need color grading on the .svg map if cases continue to rise?
Vilnius is at 8 cases already and I think it'd be easier to understand the situation if we apply color grading if/after the cases hit 10 in a region. Plienas26 (talk) 08:14, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, cause 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Italy also has the map in grading colors XD1G0x (talk) 16:44, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Do we need to mark suspected cases on .svg map?
Well, considering the fact, that we don't know from which region or regions the virus could be suspected on, as well government only announce confirmed cases, we don't entirely sure, which specific region are suspected... And as .svg map description says: "all regions have suspected cases", so does that mean, every region should be in blue color? Thank you XD1G0x (talk) 20:38, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

I think it's just better to leave confirmed cases only. With a rapidly developing situation like this one, every district is a suspected case, until confirmed. Plienas26 (talk) 17:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Do we need to mark suspected cases on .svg map Replay: I think so other country have marked thier suspected cases on Vikipedia. Wikituania (talk) 05:26, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Well a lot of places have suspected cases in Lithaunia. So i changed my mind. Maybe let's not do it. Wikituania (talk) 05:30, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject COVID-19
I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Death coverage map
Hello... I would like to give a suggestion to this Wikipedia article. I know, there aren't still 10+ deaths a city or district so there is no need for gradient color usage. Anyways, the data we are given is actually good, cause we know about the city in which the patient or infected person has died. I don't know if this idea will be implemented, but if not, it's still alright to have Confirmed cases coverage map too... Stay strong, safe and healthy... XD1G0x (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

That's a great idea. I don't know exactly how to format it correctly, but I have a map already prepared, so I'll try to implement it if I manage. Plienas26 (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping this article updated
I want to thank the editors for following Lithuania's news outlets and keeping this article up to date. I myself know several people in Lithuania that rely on Wikipedia's unbiased coverage of the situation, which is sometimes in stark contrast to local media coverage and rumours even in the medical community. You are doing very important work and it is appreciated.

On my part, I am translating your work for the Lithuanian version of this page. This would be impossible without your contributions as I do not live in Lietuva nor know which outlets to follow.

Thank you. Calanquee (talk) 13:00, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Tested Cases
I think we sould add the Coronavirus tested cases not on the map. Just on the Information box. Because the Lithaunian version has it. Wikituania (talk) 06:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I checked the Lithuanian version of this article and I didn't see that "Tested Cases" only confirmed which is also used in English one. XD1G0x (talk) 06:40, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh sorry what I meant was "Atlikta tyrimų" Wikituania (talk) 04:14, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

No worries. About the map of "Total Tests" you should ask Plienas26, since he updates every map in this thread. I only work with stats, so if you want Total Tests in stats, I'll willingly put it there. (PS. If you have any requests, I finally created a talk page in my user page, so don't hesitate and ask) XD1G0x (talk) 11:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Deaths from other
There are 10 people who had corona virus but died of other things. Can we add a collum for them? Justas.pingvinas (talk) 11:00, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey Justas.pingvinas, nice name, by the way. It would be hard to near impossible to retrace every single days data about deaths caused by other illnesses. I already used 15min.lt data for retracing new and total tests for the table... But it would be still difficult. I hope you understand, have a nice day. ~XD1G0x (a.k.a Hiroshi) XD1G0x (talk) 13:28, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Charts of New Confirmed cases, Deaths and Recoveries remodeling.
Hello... As you might have noticed, I have changed the charts style to line chart, because of the way column charts work on Wikipedia. Main reason being of the dates being crowded, I trying to spinning their angle 90° and also expended the charts width, yet I don't really want them to expend to thousand numbers of pixels. The change I did really made the charts and graphs ugly, because of how bouncy the numbers are. I could go back to column chart, but I can only make it weekly, as I did on my User:XD1G0x/Statistics page... Or I can try to skip some dates in x names, to prevent the stacking on each other... It's up to you. XD1G0x (talk) 13:34, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

New map of Red/Yellow/Green
Seimas has decided to sort districts by infection of coronavirus into three groups: Green (no to little restrictions), Yellow (some restrictions), Red (strict restrictions)... I don't know, if you want to take a responsibility Plienas, since you are the one working with maps (and I mainly work with charts and statistics), but it's up to you to decide. XD1G0x (talk) 14:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

That's a great idea! Should I add it to a separate section? Plienas26 (talk) 13:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I've seen some infoboxes which has like radio button. COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic I don't know... It's up to you. XD1G0x (talk) 15:32, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that masks are covered, which seems to set the precedent that the article can discuss pandemic control measures. Can we add a section on "Opportunity Passes"?
