On October 15th, 2020 Nevada stopped reporting Total tests (in specimens) and began reporting Total tests (in test encounters). We carried over the last available value, but the metric has not returned, so the value is out of date and potentially confusing. We will be keeping the time series as provided by the state, but removing the carried over values from October 15, 2020, forward.

On December 5, 2020, NV updated their data but forgot to update the date on their dash, leaving it as December 4. We used 12/05 00:00 as the state update time.

Tags: CTP Backfill State Data Note
On November 19th, 2020, we removed a timeseries of recoveries in Nevada. This timeseries represented staff and resident recoveries in licensed facilities. These recoveries are a small subset of the recoveries in the state, and the state does not provide an overall number of recoveries.

On 10/15/2020, Nevada switched their reporting from Total Tests (PCR) to Total Test Encounters (PCR) and the full time series of the new unit is available on their dashboard, and can be accessed via the PowerBI source code.

Switching TotalTestResults for Nevada to encounters. This results in a 432k overall / 3k today increase in TotalTestResults.
October 29, 2020
Variables affected:
-
negative
On October 29, 2020, Nevada’s Total PCR Tests (PCR) increased by a smaller amount than the increase in Cases. Because Negative test results are calculated by subtracting Positive PCR tests (people) from Total PCR tests (people), Negative test results decreased on October 29, 2020.

On 10/15 Nevada's dashboard changed and they no longer reported negatives directly. This adds calculated negatives for those dates from Total Tests (PCR) - Positive Cases (PCR)

On 10/16, NV changed their dashboard. They removed their source for Total Tests (PCR) and Negative (People or Cases) and began to report Testing Encounters (PCR). We did not capture the new Testing Encounters on shift. We carried over our Total Tests (PCR) and Negative (People or Cases). We still captured Total PCR Tests (People), but this resulted in a ~500 unit decrease. We are now using a new time stamp to reflect data "as of" the current day -- [current day 0:00]

Tags: CTP Backfill CTP Backfill Mistake Correction
A digit was missed while inputting Total PCR Tests (People) on 8/15, resulting in underreporting. This issue is complicated by the fact that we do not have a screenshot or reliably historical source for Total PCR Tests (People), normally found on p.3 of the dashboard. Since we do not have a reliable source from which to backfill this value, we are carrying over the testing value from 8/14 (538202).

Tags: CTP Backfill New Dataset / Timeseries CTP Backfill Mistake Correction
Reconciled our historical positive cases (PCR) and total tests (PCR) with state data. No major changes, just corrects some transposed digits on a few days and also extends back history of positive cases (PCR) from 4/29 to 3/5 and total tests (PCR) from 4/29 to 3/22. Also updated our Positives column since it is the same as positive cases (PCR).
