vacinas.csv - negative values
JorgeMiguelGomes opened this issue · 3 comments
the column pessoas_vacinadas_parcialmente_novas has negative values, as you can see in the image above.
Any reason for this or is this an error?
That's expected due to the fact that if there are more 2nd dose vaccination than 1st dose, people that were partially vaccinated move to the fully vaccinated bucket. The "partial" total reduces, and the "partial_new" becomes negative (should have been called "diff" not "new", but that's legacy).
The fully vaccinated value will tend to the total population and the partial vaccination value will tend to zero.
This is NOT the common "at least 1 dose" from DGS. This is the same value as added by DGS on the latest weekly report which is called CUMUL_VAC_INIT (and the new CUMUL_VAC_COMPLETE corresponding to our "vacinadas completamente") that measures how many people initiated vaccination (1st dose) but did not get yet the 2nd dose nor got the unidose.
Suggestion: Have that reflected on the Read.md file as well as columns descriptions, as those are not very clear.
The README includes explicit information on why this particular value can be negative. It's there since the new columns were added.
