First case column

Anguswalker. To avoid duplication please see similar discussion here:

Talk:COVID-19 pandemic deaths October 2020

The "first case" column is already found here:

COVID-19 pandemic cases#Monthly Totals/Cases by country

So it is not needed in this October table. It makes the table too wide on my 21 inch monitor. A horizontal scroll bar shows up. This is why the months were divided in halves. --Timeshifter (talk) 16:43, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anguswalker. "First case" could work here if the month was divided into 3 tables. Then the tables would not be so wide. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:37, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Need to break month into 3 parts. Table is too wide

As the numbers get larger and wider, the table gets wider and wider each month.

The table is way too wide on my 21 inch monitor.

We need to break the month into 3 parts instead of 2 parts. --Timeshifter (talk) 17:55, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the sorting row. No longer needed

User:Anguswalker. I removed the sorting row. It no longer helps narrow the table when the world numbers are so big, and thus wider. Please remove the sorting row on your end too.

The sorting row no longer makes the table narrower as it did in tables months ago. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:33, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have finally removed the sorting row from my spreadsheet and the first case/death column, given that it now appears on the main monthly table! Anguswalker (talk) 11:09, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
