Recovery numbers

[abedacarratz]

Hi Valeriu,
I am wondering whether your analysis could be useful for the numbers of recovered patients. Unlike the death and contagion curves, it'd be desirable for the recovery curves to be getting steeper.
What do you think?

hi @abedacarratz cheers for your issue! I believe a lot of the specialists say the recovered numbers are not reliable, since they don't document them correctly and they are delayed by quite a bit; JHU provide numbers in their data but it looks like recovered = total - deaths so that should be seen immediately from the plots

Huh! Yeah that's not gonna work then. It's strange, because other trackers online (e.g. the one by Bing) seem to divide daily cases into Total, Active, Recovered, and Fatal. Makes it look as though numbers of Recovered cases were specifically reported, not just calculated subtracting deaths.
