Hi all,
A number of people
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#inaccurate_covid_19_cases_reported_for_our_county>
have noticed over the past ~day that the data for cases reported in
Wisconsin by county is showing up incorrectly in the Google stats card.
I've verified that this is still an issue. It looks like it might be due to
the stats card pulling in data from the wrong row of the table
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Wisconsin#Statistics_by_county>
(negative
or per-capita tests rather than confirmed positive), but I'm not 100% sure.
Quickly scanning the history of the page, looks like there were some recent
formatting tweaks – possible that they caused an issue in scraping/parsing?
*Google team: *let me know if there's any more information I can provide
to assist with triage!
*COVID case count task force folks:* looks like the person who added the
by-county table to that page was looking for help with table formatting
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Wisconsin> (maybe
related to why this issue occurred?), just FYI in case you want to help
them out :)
Best,
Maryana
