samples based on population

Open xz-keg opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi, I see an "estimated case" feature on cov-spectrum.

Given that countries have stopped most testing and no longer reporting the real number of cases, this feature seems redundant.

As countries are heading towards a new norm of ”rising sea level with high/low tide", their infection rate are circling around a constant at maybe 0.3-1% daily.

Under such circumstance, I guess an "estimated share among global population" that weights each sample with its corresponding regional population may be more useful.

A rough estimation of country-wise population can be extracted from worldometers
