Accuracy[edit]

The chart claims to show "active cases" in orange, but these generally only last a few weeks, and the chart apparently shows all the cases ever started are still active. There should be a large "recovered" segment, or "active" cases should occasionally go down rather than monotonically increasing. -- Beland (talk) 19:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We can change the label to Total Cases. I don't believe RI reports recovery data so this is consistent with other graphs. I do agree the label is inaccurate though.

@Stattracker24: Looks like the label is still misleading; feel free to change it. (Looking at the template briefly I didn't see anywhere obvious to do so.) -- Beland (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
