New data: artefact?
I get the data for my maps from JHU - but note that the cumulative numbers went down quite a bit yesterday all across Massachusetts. Anyone know what's going on? Did they switch definitions, or is it a glitch? (this is why the 14-day rolling map is all grey: the numbers are actually negative). do you happen to know what's going on based on your data processing? effeietsanders 22:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * MA recently moved towards only using confirmed cases rather than confirmed + probable. While we're still able to determine the probable cases because of one chart that shows the total, most numbers now reflect only confirmed cases. Could that be it?

 * Ah, that totally explains - thanks. Not sure how to incorporate that knowledge at this point for the rolling 14-day new cases prevalence, given that I'm using JHU as the source (and I don't want to complicate it with many sources if I could avoid it...). effeietsanders 21:42, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I would suggest switching to using the mass.gov data, except they've stopped releasing per-county information on a daily basis (and stopped releasing total # of deaths per county entirely)... GorillaWarfare (talk) 00:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

PEIS warning
The following warning appears on the page when you preview it:

Warning: Post-expand include size is too large. Some templates will not be included.

To reduce the amount of content that contributes to the issue, I suggest switching the daily source data for the four charts found in the "Statistics" section to something more practical like weekly or monthly. They haven't been updated since January 11-12, 2022, so if the time-sensitive data isn't going to be updated, then I suggest deleting it. If this doesn't resolve the warning, then I also suggest doing the same to the daily Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/Massachusetts medical cases chart.
