Dates affected: 11/1, 11/2

Describe this issue: On 11/2 we published the wrong Pending, Currently hospitalized, and Currently in ICU values for Wisconsin.

Describe the problem

There is no record (in screenshots) of WI updating hosp data on 11/21. It's possible they never did.

State: WI

Dates affected: 10/31

Describe the issue: On 10/31 there was a typo in WI negatives. It was entered as 1250, but should have been 12500. We should patch this mistake. Total and confirmed cases are unaffected.

State or US: Wisconsin

Describe the problem Wisconsin provides a time series of the tests it performed from 3/3 onwards on its website. This is backfilling the time series.

State: Wisconsin

Problem: On 10/17 the caching issues on the Hospital page caused the values from 10/16 to be entered. The values from 10/17 were then entered on 10/18, and values for 10/18 on 10/19.

Solution: Backfill the day's proper value from 10-17-10/19 for Pending, Current Hospitalization, and Current ICU.

Problem: Current hospitalization values were not updated before our publish time.

Describe the problem We were lumping their pending into currently hospitalized from roughly 4/2 - 6/9.

We also have some incorrect values throughout our time series, that became obvious when we received a time series directly from Wisconsin Hospital Assoc website.

Someone, please tell me all the ways I messed this GH issue up.

State or US: Wisconsin

Describe the problem CTP started reporting probables on 7/28 for many states. WI has been reporting probables since it started separating out confirmed and probable case counts on 3/12. We can backfill probables using positive - confirmed until 3/12 and cross-referencing with spreadsheet provided by WI State of Probable cases linked in Issue #541.

State or US: Wisconsin

Describe the problem On 9/6, data obtained from the Hospital Capabilities page was not updated.

We currently report deaths (confirmed) and deaths as the same value, but we should be differentiating between deaths (confirmed) and deaths (probable) to obtain the total value for deaths.

State or US: Wisconsin

Describe the problem On 6/25 Wisconsin released about 2800 probable cases without a time series, so they were all attributed to today.

Question I had on the hospitalizations for WI. They seem to jump and platau higher, then drop. I'm fully aware that there are pikes and troughs with the virus, however, the hospitalized during that period don't match some of the screenshots that I have of WI from that time. Wondering where the hospitalization data came from for the the May through 1st week of June as it seems unusually high compared to other data. For example, here's a screenshot for 5/16 from the Wisconsin DHS site, that shows total COVID patients as 380, yet you have listed hundreds more.

Front conversations

In WI, until about two weeks ago, we were adding the number of Patients w/ COVID Test Pending to the number of Total Covid patients. We were informed that since the hospital tests everyone, we should not be doing that and we stopped doing it, but we need to correct the historical data we captured.

On April 28 the number of current hospitalizations went up by 207 from 336 to 544, but the cumulative hospitalizations only went up 41. See attached image.

Something doesn't add up.

Hello,

I am a public health graduate student at Zilber School of Public Health, and I have some questions specifically on the Wisconsin data.

1. On 3/30, the data lists -585 tests. How can there be a negative test value?
2. For the field "New Tests" are these figures reflective of that day (i.e. for 4/22, were 1,886 tests conducted or does that represent the date the test was processed/test results returned?)
3. What happens to the pending test values? Do those get retroactively adjusted into that date's positive/negative results column as the results come in?
4. Do we know what types of tests the state of WI is giving (i.e standard vs rapid test that has been hypothesized to have a higher false negative rate)?

I appreciate your time! Best, Lisa Blair

Wisconsin updated its methodology: https://twitter.com/DHSWI/status/1244705100221698048:

Updated numbers for you. And the number of people with negative test results for #COVID19_WI now reflects Wisconsin residents only and excludes duplicate lab results...

Perhaps worth a note?

(Thanks for the great project.)
