Motivation edit

France (SpF) will no longer give, from 26 March 2020, the P1603 number of "total cases" (hospitalised + home) by region every day, but probably only once a week.

while waiting France (SpF) only give every day the number of "hospitalized cases" (number of people hospitalized in hospital).

what do I use as a property in "number of cases" P1603 to attach them?

quantity (P1114) with criteria used (P1013) ?

Or do I have to apply for two new properties :

-number of hospitalized cases -number of home cases--Viruscorona2020 (talk) 06:13, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Support I see it used a lot and sounds to me a very useful measure to track virus outbreaks in general. --Egon Willighagen (talk) 16:45, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support For Denmark (Q35) we are currently keeping track of hospitalizations at Wikimedia Commons in a Data Table: [1]. There we also have the number in intensive care unit as well as the number of people in ventilators. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 14:02, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Has someone an idea how to model the number of hospitalized cases in intensive care? that could be very interesting, at least in relation to number of deaths etc. --Mfchris84 (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (but I kind of Oppose). I have the same opinion as in the sister proposal number of home cases. It is a good idea, but I believe that number of cases (P1603) + a qualifier suffices. Perhaps just the qualifier of (P642) pointing to the item hospitalization (Q3140971) or similar would be enough to capture such information. Plus, other types of hospitalization such as "intensive care hospitalization" and so on can have their own items, and we would not need new properties for each of them.
