==Google Feedback==

- Google has noticed some negative numbers in some of the daily data (in the country pages, eg: Romania). Is this by design or a bug? MP: I do see some negative values in this template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic_data/Romania_medical_cases – not sure why. @Mario or anyone else who knows the template conventions better than I do, do you happen to know? - Some countries are not being updated in the regional data level (eg: France). MP: It looks like folks stopped updating the regional totals template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic_data/France_medical_cases. There is more up-to-date data on French Wikipedia https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pand%C3%A9mie_de_Covid-19_en_France#Statistiques_par_r%C3%A9gions, though!

==Community Feedback== Wisconsin template parsing issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Wisconsin_Corona_Virus_cases_incorrect_on_page_that_automatically_comes_up_when_googled noticed by readers – caught and fixed this week. Thanks for the quick response, Google team!
