On November 30, 2020, Oregon did not update their data dashboard until after the time of our daily update, but did provide a press release with data. We sourced their Positive Cases (People, confirmed + probable), Currently hospitalized, Currently in ICU, Deaths (confirmed and probable) from this press release. We later learned that the hospitalization figures from the press releases are different from the numbers we usually captured, and are backfilling their Currently hospitalized, Currently in ICU, and Currently on ventilator from screenshots.

We used to get confirmed cases in OR by using their positive people tested number and probably by subtracting that number from lumped. However, this number included people tested by antigen, it was never really confirmed. We are clearing the history of this field.

Variables affected:

Tags: State / Metric No Update

On January 29, 2021, Oregon announced that their COVID-19 case database would be down “for server and file migration maintenance” on January 30, 2021, and as a result there would be no update to their data on January 31, 2021. Because Oregon’s data is on a one day lag in our timeseries due to late updates, we were unable to update their data on February 1, 2021.

Variables affected:

Tags: CTP API / Logic Changes

As of December 9, 2020, Oregon’s total test results are drawn from our totalTestsViral field instead of calculated via positive+negative. This change will cause Oregon’s totalTestResults to begin on March 29, 2020 instead of March 4, 2020. Because Oregon’s totalTestsViral represent only electronic laboratory reporting, whereas its cases and negatives represented tests from all sources, this change causes a decrease of 10,296 tests in totalTestResults on March 29. The old numbers remain available by summing the positive and negative fields of our API.

Variables affected:

Tags: State Anomalies

On December 5, 2020 Oregon listed updated values of Currently hospitalized and **Currently in ICU **patients in their press release, presenting the numbers in terms of the increases compared to yesterday. Since the values cited for December 4 did not match with the data we found from their regular source yesterday, and since we have not taken these metrics from the press release in the past, we did not use these numbers.

December 1, 2020 to December 4, 2020

Variables affected:

Tags: CTP Backfill State Annotation / Source Change

On December 3, 2020, Oregon removed its total people tested metric, after adding total specimens on December 1. Because they did not provide a full timeseries of specimens, as of December 4, our totalTestResults switch from people to specimens on December 1, 2020. This causes an artificial increase of totalTestResults by 960,248 on that day.

Additionally, Oregon released a new specimens testing number that we began capturing today.

On November 26, 2020, Oregon's Negative PCR tests (specimens) were input as 960,657 based on a number from a press release due to the dashboard not being updated because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The decision was made to revert November 26, 2020's Negative PCR tests (specimens) value to 960469, the value shown on our historical screenshots of the dashboard to ensure that our time series was consistent.
