Massachusetts

On January 4th 2021, Massachusetts updated its dashboard. The language describing the Antigen tests changed from individuals to tests, but the numbers stayed in the same ballpark.

Can you please let us know whether the definition of antigen tests changed when the dashboard was changed?

Please note that the dashboard has been updated to reflect the issues you identified below. Thanks for catching this and bringing it to our attention

MA reached out to us about the test units on our page. We followed up with ETA on flipping totalTestResults.

I hope this finds you doing well. Thank you all for the incredible upgrades you have made to the site. It’s truly amazing what you all have been able to do. I spoke with [redacted] earlier this morning and noticed an anomaly in Massachusetts’ data on CTP I’m hoping you can help with. On the main Massachusetts page (which, again, is awesome) you have correctly shown our total tests (in specimens) as 2.798M; total tests (in people) is correct at 1.888M. However, on the historical page, you list the Total PCR Tests (in specimens) as 1.90M and not 2.798M Because COVID Exit is pulling off the “Total PCR tests (specimens)“, its showing a positive test rate as roughly 2x what it should be. Is there anything you need from us to change?
