[Serious] Multiple Sclerosis Map: my latest web project
#11
RE: Multiple Sclerosis Map: my latest web project
Nice job, Atlas!

Is it a work in progress? I think it would be cool to be able to click on a country and get links to regional resources, if they're available.

Nice job Atlas! I shared it on my facebook page.

I never said there was any harm in it.  If it makes Atlas feel better, if it improves his outlook, all well and good.  *shrug*

It would be nice to know the percentage of population having MS. Is it better medical care and early diagnosis or are there regional/ genetic risk factors?

It isn't as if MS is a mysterious disease.  I still don't see how a map telling me 'There are x MS patients in Nigeria' is going to help people with MS.

To be clear, I'm not bagging on MS patients, I'm bagging on a map that contains zero information that I can't get elsewhere.

MS's name is known, but everything else about the disease is either hard to reach or not quite understood by patients.

The moment I got diagnosed, I had no knowledge about the numbers of patients, or where are they located. The doctor gave me the number of a Rebief medicine agent and left me with that.

I'm just saying that information are priceless. From the number of patients to how much the disease is affecting on every place. At least I don't feel alone with this map; and if one thing I realized its this:

There is a damn epidemic regarding this disease, IDK if it's food or cigarettes or genes.

Thank you Athene Smile

Yes; the regional resources are a nice idea, I will see if I can implement it right.
I can already add whatever to the country's popup.

You know, it feel quite good. Helping with a tiny fraction feels amazing.

Nobody knows the source of M.S; but there are speculation and theories, genetics are a suspect, so as cigarettes and environmental factors.

I will add the percentages; seems like a fine idea.

I calculated the prevalence in every 100,000 though:

Some of you numbers on rate/prevalence don't make sense. They are not matching other published rates.

For instance, look at England (~population 55 million) and Germany (~population 83 million). You have the total cases in both countries as a little more than 100,000 but rate/100,000 in England as 0.11 and Germany as 81.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I read your comment yesterday and tried to check the numbers of prevalence. The U.K gave me 1.784553980215224 per 100,000 . I used the following:

MS CASES/Total Population X 100000

mmm so I disabled the prevalence for now until I find what's wrong in the code..

Comments like yours, Chimp3 and Athene are very useful for me. If you or anybody else find a mistake in my calculations is would be very useful to notify me about so I try to fix them or suggest ideas for me to implement and make the map better
