Need to finalize decision on whether we can or cannot use KS's historical case data for our Positive Cases (PCR) historicals. If yes, please backfill all days. We have not yet recorded any.

PRESS RELEASES: Strange. They just add the current day’s to the front and re-PDF the whole thing. This action leads me to think their historicals are not updated to be only confirmed… if they just keep adding today’s press release to prior days, but I am stretching - yes. https://www.coronavirus.kdheks.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1125/Historical---July-8?bidId=

The historical hover-over graph is most-likely a lumped figure, so we can't use it for backfill. We are waiting for confirmation from outreach.

The 'COVID-19 Summary' under 'Daily Case Summary & Historical Data' on the state page reports the number of positive tests, but these seem to be 'specimens,' rather than people. This is also inconclusive.

This problem is further complicated when considering that the 'Negative Tests' number is a lumped value (https://covid-tracking.slack.com/archives/C0124MP2E5C/p1592283152088300)

There is a separate number on the state page through the 'Testing Rates' button. In the 'Positive PCR Tests by Performing Lab' table, under 'Number of Cases,' we suspect that this number indicates lab-confirmed cases. We are waiting for confirmation from outreach on this and are working to take screenshots in order to have a record for potential back-filling.

***Note: On 7/27, this number and the 'Positive test' number in the historical PDF were the same.

We decided not to use the number from this graph as "Confirmed Cases": Screen Shot 2020-07-28 at 11 00 22 AM

Reasons:

  • This number equals a number they call “positive tests” on their summary PDFs
  • KS lumps antibody and antigen in its negatives, and neg+pos for these figures = totals, so we know at least the totals are lumped. KS calls the positives “PCR tests” but they could be sneaking in antigens under the header of “PCR” like FL and AK do
  • These confirmed/probable numbers will be impossible for days before we started screenshotting this page
  • There is another potential source of confirmed figures from summing a timeseries, but the timeseries (1) doesn’t confirm that it’s confirmed cases, and (2) is by date diagnosed rather than date reported, so would be on a different timeline from our lumped figures making inferring probables impossible from it

#581: [KS]Data entry errors in Positive Cases PCR column - we actually don't have a source for it. so the full time series should be deleted.

That takes care of one item on my To Do list, which was listed as "KS PCR ARGH" and I was going to have to go back and figure out what that meant

Death values are historically recorded in both the "Deaths" and "Deaths (Confirmed)" columns for KS. However, KS's death values are unclear about what they represent, so they should only be recorded in the main "Deaths" field.
