File talk:World map of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people by country.png

Legend

It should probably be explained somewhere what the number in the legend means: it is not the deaths per million people but rather log_10 of something or the like. @Doc James? --Dan Polansky (留言) 09:39, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Source says "Total confirmed deaths due to COVID-19 per million people, Mar 20, 2020" User:Dan Polansky.

China has 3248 deaths / 1386 million people = 2.34 deaths per million. Looks good to me. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:08, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Oops, seems you're right. The scale is quasi-exponential with base 2, and additional points 0.1 and 6. --Dan Polansky (留言) 16:54, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Yellow misleading

I get the very strong impression, when intuitively looking at the map, that coloured countries have reported deaths. However, a closer study reveals that countries with zero deaths and large countries with few deaths are lumped together in the yellow category. I understand the effort to show countries with no data separately, in grey. May I suggest coloring countries with data, but 0 deaths, in white? --St.nerol (留言) 21:05, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

FK SAKE PLEASE PUT THE DATE IN THE TITLE AND ON THE IMAGE

Do I need to say it twice? FK SAKE PLEASE PUT THE DATE IN THE TITLE AND ON THE IMAGE. Always do this with such data. FK'S SAKE. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.101.157.18 (talk) 10:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

If you say for FK SAKE twice is it more likely to magically happen? Contact the image makers at the source:

Ask them to add the date to the map downloads. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:22, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
