Ohio

@NateSilver538 WA also a usable example simply because the data is gloriously solid, relatively speaking. (OTOH, one other shade to this data: they hit a testing wall, which might be part of the flatter trend. Happy to discuss if you are interested.) -@alexismadrigal

Over the past two days, it is worth noting that two large states have begun reporting more complete testing data. NJ yesterday and OH today both moved the numbers.

CA remains a major question mark. We hope to see movement there later today.

WA is not yet reporting outcomes.

Add Ohio to both lists. Thanks for the pointer @tytusplanck and @LorenzoGrooms. https://t.co/hwNTCES0yh

One confounding data issue right now: New York City is reporting confirmed and presumptive deaths, but the state is not, so we are not. However, at least one state (Ohio) is lumping those numbers together. This may get messy in the coming days.

Here's a quick focus on Ohio. The situation does not look as dire as some places, but the state is now seeing hospitalizations turn upwards, too. https://t.co/pE1RGP7J5s

Here's a map of the number of new cases reported today. Note that Ohio and Alabama both almost broke 1,000. https://t.co/Fe2iixSRnH

In Ohio, percent-positive rose from 3.7% week of June 14 to 5.4% this week, and the hospital curve is also concerning. We’ll be watching these two closely over the coming weeks. https://t.co/Q8AMI2kskQ

The record new cases are coming from many states. Notable jumps in Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. (Ohio looks bad today but this number is for two days.) https://t.co/L6CJXXbuuP

The Washington State DOH noted that they will no longer report COVID-19 deaths over the weekend starting today. Weekend COVID-19 deaths in the state will be included in Monday and Tuesday counts.

Ohio reported the highest COVID-19 case count to date. The state reported 1,042 people are currently hospitalized - the highest number since early August. https://t.co/9QvwnjXiqG

Daily cases in Ohio have hit a new high four days in a row, including today. OK also reported a new case high today. https://t.co/7OYvKY12g7

In some states with worsening outbreaks, the virus has already arrived in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities: Ohio, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have posted record high numbers of COVID-19 cases in these facilities this week.

While long-term care facility data continues to be patchy, what we do know is grim: Cases continued to rocket upward last week with 19,086 new cases and 1,839 new deaths among staff and residents. More than a quarter of these cases were in just three states: IL, OH, and TX.

We had an error in our Ohio hospitalization data. Ohio hospitalizations are 3,175 today, and national hospitalizations are 69,864, another record day. https://t.co/TXvaRX0KnH

The Midwest is now the epicenter of COVID-19 outbreaks, where 38% of all new cases in LTC facilities were reported this week. Nearly every state in the region hit new peaks in either cases, deaths, or both. Ohio recorded 3,123 cases - the highest of this last week. https://t.co/o3nJkFTd58

OH has reported incomplete data for 3 consecutive days and GA dashboards will be under scheduled maintenance on Sunday, Nov 22, from 8am - 6pm.

Cases and hospitalizations are increasing at an extremely fast rate in Pennsylvania and Ohio. https://t.co/UYIQzWT7RT

The following jurisdictions did not report today: AS, CT, FL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MP, NC, NH, OH, RI, SC, SD, UT, VI, VT, WY. 10 more reported partial data. Some will report two days of data tomorrow.

The Midwest remains the epicenter of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. The region has seen the highest number of reported LTC cases & deaths every week since mid-November. Four states—IL, OH, IN & MN—topped the nation in new reported LTC deaths last week. https://t.co/bp1sBO7RmF

Seven states reported more than 10k cases today: CA, FL, IL, NY, PA, OH, and TX. https://t.co/L93HHx9vjH

The past few days have brought an important new set of metrics to state dashboards: vaccine data! So far, we’ve learned of six states—ID, MI, OH, SD, TX and UT—that are posting the number of vaccines administered on their dashboards.

20 states provided no update: AK, CA, CT, DC, ID, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MP, NC, ND, NH, OH, RI, SC, SD, UT, VT.

7 other states made partial updates.

Today’s deaths include 650 additional deaths reported by Ohio as part of the state adjusting for underreported deaths.

Today’s deaths include 2,500 additional deaths from Ohio as part of the state adjusting for underreported deaths. Note: this backlog is not reflected in today's total as they do not represent the current trends. The increase is reflected on the website. https://t.co/Xz9YPcNXqK

Ohio is including what are likely the final 1125 previously unreported deaths as part of reconciling their records. While not included in the daily update above, these additional deaths are in the API data, and are reflected in the number of total deaths.

Data users may notice differences in 7-day average deaths between our social posts and website. We have removed major death backlogs reported by OH and IN in these daily social posts to clarify the trend. Those backlogs remain in our cumulative numbers.

Our daily deaths is impacted by a change in Ohio's death reporting. The state is now only reporting COVID-19 deaths twice a week as they receive verified death certificates from the NCHS.
