Lethality by gender and age?

Anyone willing to add a table like Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Italy medical cases based on data at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/divisions/public-health/covid19/covid-19-nc-case-count#by-age? Ain92 (talk) 20:24, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mecklenberg County Homeless Assistance

This statement is confusing: "Mecklenburg County announced that they will cover one week cost of people staying in hotels and motels to keep the tenants from being evicted." From the linked source, it sounds like the money actually comes from a charity, Crisis Assistance Ministry, not the County, and the program refers to homeless populations already being sheltered in hotels and motels.

Statistics and Charts

Does the blue section on the "COVID-19 cases in North Carolina" bar chart represent recoveries? Can that be labeled? --40.128.72.144 (talk) 13:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed cases and deaths in header do not match the "COVID-19 cases in North Carolina" bar chart, but the two share a cited source. --40.128.72.144 (talk) 13:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cases/10K Calculation Error

In the table labeled "COVID-19 pandemic medical cases in North Carolina by county", the value in the Cases/10K field is inconsistent with the values in the other fields. This may be the result of either outdated information or a formulaic error. If possible, I would recommend changing the formula to be

CASES * 10,000/POP

Likewise, the summary lines at the top of the table are all incorrect. This, again, is likely the result of data being hand entered rather than calculated.
