COVID-19

I believe at one point @CSSEGISandData had been pulling Florida's county-level death data from the Community Profile data. That appears to have stopped working in recent weeks.

As an example, Alachua County reports 588 deaths in the JHU data but 618 in the latest community profile set. Miami-Dade's count is more than 200 deaths behind. Florida now has 2,852 deaths in the "unassigned" category.

(I'll flag in the other issue about altered reporting schedules.)

Explain why 2,618 more people were dead in US Total Covid deaths yesterday than today in JH Data. Worldometer is showing a similar drop in total death. I follow data every day and this is a huge difference in bringing people back to life.

The odd resurrections occurred in Massachusetts, with 3770 fewer total deaths to date on March 14 compared to March 13, 2022. See the following link for why Massachusetts thinks this is the right way to adjust the data. IMHO, just because most of the rest of the US has (deliberately?) tried to minimize deaths assigned to COVID does not make joining their (flawed) methodology the right thing to do. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/state-s-covid-19-death-toll-falls-by-more-than-3-700-under-new-counting-method/ar-AAV3mOW?ocid=winp2octtaskbarhover

Hi @stucka! Thanks for your help as always. Can you point to the source where we are lagging behind? We match the county-level deaths on the csv downloaded from this page but haven't been able to identify if HHS is having inconsistencies between their reports.

@CSSEGISandData , thank you! =)

I think it likely is HHS inconsistencies. When I hit the link you just shared I'm seeing a CSV updated March 14 for download. If I go here, I get data dated March 16: https://healthdata.gov/Health/COVID-19-Community-Profile-Report/gqxm-d9w9

Your link for Miami-Dade has cases and deaths at: 1,173,497 and 10,320

Mine has: 1,180,488 and 10,643

I do have an amateur-hour parser for this I can probably open source -- both my boss and I are supposed to not be working this week so it might be a little difficult figuring out how to move that along, but I can try.

Thanks for a response.

The 'resurrections' were explained by new procedure for counting deaths in MA.

Excess deaths in MA did not change.

Death is final.

Even politics cannot raise the dead.

@CSSEGISandData , if it helps any I've open-sourced a crude parser for the HHS COVID-19 community profile reports (formerly known as the White House community profile reports and I believe White House report cards). This appears to be somewhat more timely than the official HHS repository.

The code is here: https://github.com/GannettDigital/white-house-covid-report/

Thanks Mike.
