Minus Deaths Not Possible
It is not possible to have minus two deaths. That would be two births without covid19 (presumably plenty of babies are being born every day without covid?). Or some sort of miracle resurrection/re-incarnation whereby two people who died of covid came back to life. Doesnt make sense. Also the daily number of cases was reported as zero everywhere else on the page for this day so (=) is the correct % change (not -0.13%) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.171.196.7 (talk) 05:45, 28 May 2020 (UTC)


 * The "minus deaths" reflect validation carried out by HPSC and subsequent de-notification of active cases. Please read the source for more info. Avitus27 (talk) 09:32, 12 August 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 ) 18:14, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Fix layout as at 2020-03-19 please
The bar for 19 March is using two rows. I suspect it's to do with the width parameter but it's too fiddly for me to fix (am only on a mobile at the moment). Thanks --A bit iffy (talk) 21:47, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I see this has now been fixed.--A bit iffy (talk) 18:08, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Tables in Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Republic of Ireland medical cases getting too long to read and navigate comfortably?
Hello, , , , , , I wanted to consult the opinion of editors who have majorly contributed to any pages that relate to COVID-19 in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) to establish some sort of consensus about 2 tables in Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Republic of Ireland medical cases (not to be confused with Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Republic of Ireland medical cases chart). If you feel that somebody that I have not tagged here would have something valuable to offer to this discussion please let them know. I would really appreciate your input on what I have to say. Let me know whether you agree or disagree with my proposals, or if you have any suggestions of your own that may be better than mine. 31.187.4.94 (talk) 02:40, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

For the sake of brevity, I will be referring to the Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases in Ireland by county table and the Cumulative incidence rates per 100,000 population of confirmed cases of COVID-19 by county table as tables 1 & 2 respectively (please refer to page Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Republic of Ireland medical cases).

A row needs to be added daily to both tables 1 & 2 the so that it has the latest figures from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) or the Department of Health. In the case of both tables, they will just have more and more rows as time passes, thus making it more and more tiresome to read and navigate through them. I wouldn't say that it's necessary to include the data from each day, rather just include the latest total incidence rate. In other words, I would replace table 1 with something like this:

AND Replace table 2 with something like this:

Transferring cases table from main article to this template
Hi all editors of this template article,

Just a quick heads up that due to the current issue in the main article with templates passing the limit, I have transferred and copied the entire table under the title "Self-confirmed and posthumously reported SARS-CoV-2 infection cases involving noted figures of Ireland" on the "Cases" section from the main article to this template. I don't know if this is the right place to put the table but this was my last resort to fix the current template issue on the main article. I hope you understand.

Bar chart depicting cumulative COVID-19 cases by county
I would like to suggest that the Post-18 March 2020 confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection cases in Ireland (when specific data became unquantifiable) table could be replaced with a bar chart like this. There are 3 timeline articles that have the total number of cases from each day since the beginning of the pandemic, so I think this becoming redundant and it's only going to get longer and harder to read as time passes.
