Missouri

State: Missouri

Issue: On September 28, 2020, Missouri removed the Positive and Negative antibody tests (people) metrics from their dashboards. We carried over the last available values for both, but the metrics have not returned, so the values are out of date and potentially confusing. We will be keeping the time series as provided by the state, but removing the carried over values from September 28, 2020, forward.

State: MO

Dates affected: 10/19

Describe the issue: On 10/19 MO added cur. icu to their dash. Per our policy of not adding new data points on shift, we did not start capturing this value until 10/20. We should patch 10/19 cur. icu from screenshots

State or US: Missouri

Describe the problem On 9/28, Missouri updated their dashboard. This new dashboard did not report current hospitalization numbers, so we carried over the value for 7 days. As per CTP policy, we stopped carrying over the current hospitalization value after 7 days. On 10/8, MO returned the value to their dashboard, and we have captured ever since.

Backfilling the days we missed, using the hover-over graph labeled "COVID-19 Total Patients in the Hospital by Day" on the MO website, under the Detail: Healthcare System tab.

State or US: Missouri

Describe the problem Missouri started reporting total individuals tested for antibodies & antigens in a new section of the dashboard and we did not capture it on the shift.

Note The antibody tested individuals value presents a drop from values we previously captured on the old dashboard. We are reaching out to MO to clarify whether the previous number was in people or tests units.

State or US: Missouri

Describe the problem The dashboard changed and we are getting these values from a new source

Link to data source Provide links to original data sources that we can refer to, like a state COVID website.

State or US: MO

Describe the problem After discussion, we decided to revert the source for MO total cases and confirmed cases back to the original source on the "Overview" tab of the dashboard http://mophep.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=8e01a5d8d8bd4b4f85add006f9e14a9d

State or US: Missouri

Describe the problem MO's use of "Individuals" for antibody test counts implies that they report in people, not specimens, tested. States Daily needs to be updated accordingly.

State or US: MO

Describe the problem We have been using the number of "lab confirmed cases" in the "Overview" tab of the MO dashboard. However, there were concerns they were lumping positive antibody tests in this figure. We propose to use the "individuals with positive PCR results" on the "Testing - PCR" tab instead. This new dashboard links back to May 21st.

Link to data source ArcGIS query link -- hopefully this can be used to backfill

Death values are historically recorded in both the "Deaths" and "Deaths (Confirmed)" columns for MO. However, MO’s death values represent lumped probable and confirmed figures, so they should only be recorded in the main "Deaths" field.

5/12: Started reporting same value for deaths (probable and confirmed) and confirmed deaths

RAW spreadsheet w data

On 5/17, there was an entry error in MO where the number of total tests was put in place of the number of the negative tests.

Entry Negative Tests (5/17) should be fixed from 146255 to 146255-10789 = 135466

I've been tracking the Missouri data for two weeks now and recently the total tests have been a day behind. The Health Department updates the total positives around 2 PM, but the total gets updated around 5 PM (Central). I think the problem was they never updated total deaths for 5/2, but since then: 5/3 was 91083 5/4 was 100747 5/6 was 103622 They just updated 5/7 to 108721

Your data has gotten me incredibly interested in the numbers and how they track, thanks!

The numbers for Missouri were not updated on the States Daily 4PM ET tab in the spreadsheet. They have updated however on States Current tab so you should have the correct numbers. Can you update the daily tab?

From Chad Huber via email:

Hi there. I noticed your Missouri numbers are incomplete due to Missouri not publishing numbers on their website but rather through an obscure (yet verified) twitter account. I've messaged the Health Director - I was on the Governor's transition team that installed him - in the hopes of pushing him towards the reporting suggested in your Best Practices document. However, until then, I'd be happy to take their tweets and update the numbers for Missouri on a daily basis.
