timeline is important and specific

I see that prior case numbers since Sept 29 were deleted. The timeline is not uninteresting, however, and specific to this outbreak, unlike the generic background stuff. So unless we are dealing with overboarding text over numerous months I do plead here, to keep those figures.

Also, I warn to merely slip in updated figures, without providing a source, whilst keeping an old source, which causes confusion, as has happened several times now. This deteriorates the quality. I have undone the last edit by @Ndahiro derrick for that reason. Wuerzele (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, I will be putting this into consideration for all incoming page improvements. Regards ɴᴅᴀʜɪʀᴏ ᴅᴇʀʀɪᴄᴋ 🐎 (talk) 07:16, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ndahiro derrick you just did it again here by swapping out two out of three figures and adding a source that covers only 2 figures, i.e. Failed verification.

Be aware that the lede is an extract/summary following the body and not vice versa. If you want to update, do it in the body first, otherwise you will get the tag Not verified in body.
