Nevada

The score contains 4 simple components:

1. +1 for reporting positives reliably (only NV fails)
2. +1 for reporting negatives sometimes (e.g. NY, CA)
3. +1 for reporting negatives reliably
4. +1 for reporting all commercial tests

(All labs have to report all positives.)

OK, grades are back.

Really excellent update from Nevada. After days of rough, broken reporting, they unveiled a great dashboard. Encouraging to see states standing up these efforts! https://t.co/nGU87yfnUl

@GracieLuAnn24 @kevinfurr @PeterZeihan @alexismadrigal If you look at Nevada, it doesn't seem that way: https://t.co/DbZ9DOycSX

There's a delta, but it's not 3x. -@alexismadrigal https://t.co/cM1HmUPBgt

We just updated the race and ethnicity data in the COVID Racial Data Tracker and we're happy to report progress. Only four states do not report some kind of race/ethnicity data.

They are: North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, and South Dakota.

South Dakota began reporting race & ethnicity data today. In a 90% white state, almost 70% of cases are people of color because of meatpacking outbreaks.

Of the 3 states still not reporting any of this data -- NE, ND, NV -- Nebraska, especially, may have similar dynamics. https://t.co/ox1kC9bIb1

With previous data, governors have been able to make more information available. Nebraska's @GovRicketts, North Dakota's @DougBurgum, and Nevada's @GovSisolak probably can improve transparency, if their constituents let them know how important this data is.

Nebraska is still 1 of only 3 states not releasing any race or ethnicity information.

The others are North Dakota (@ndgov & @DougBurgum) and Nevada (@NVGovernment & @GovSisolak)

We're also keeping an eye on some of the smaller states adjacent to the major outbreaks.

(Nevada briefly reported hospitalization data, pulled it for a while, and eventually added it back.) https://t.co/fE7xfnCJ8e

Nevada had never reported more than 500 cases in a day. Today, the state reported almost 1100. The positive rate and hospitalizations in the state are rising, too. https://t.co/sp9bq8nG6J

18 states reported over 900 new cases today. Nevada and Texas hit new highs. https://t.co/mb81voZYNR

Populous states can generate large case counts, but if you look at the new cases per million today, 9 smaller states are showing more cases per million than California or Texas: AL, AR, ID, KS, KY, LA, MS, NV, and SC. https://t.co/1pYW6cWRaS

On 10/16, IA reclassified ~10k tests from PCR to antigen, causing its totals to drop. NV redesigned its dashboard and removed the number of people who tested negative, a figure we used to calculate totals. We froze the figure, making NV’s tests appear as all positive for 5 days.

This can lead to fluctuations in test positivities with our API. If a state only reports positive tests on a given day due to a technical problem with negative reporting, it will appear as if they have a 100% test positivity for that day, like what happened in Nevada this week.

Attention API users: As part of our ongoing work to provide more comparable data across states, we are switching 2 more states numbers in our totalTestResults field: NV and NE.

38 states reported over 1k cases. CO, IN, KY, MD, MN, MO, MT, ND, NH, NJ, NV, PA, WV, and UT all set records for detected cases. (5 states did not report cases.) https://t.co/3Gi0ieFO3i

Indiana and Nevada are now reporting more than 500 currently hospitalized per million people, along with South Dakota. For reference, the highest value of hospitalizations per million people we've seen was 968 in New York back in April. https://t.co/140cQIWjDh

NV leads the nation in currently hospitalized patients per million people, followed by SD and AZ, which is close to its own summer peak. https://t.co/uD0hk69cJK

Almost every state reports more than 100 people hospitalized per million, while Nevada reports 592, which translates into 1 out of 1700 people in the state. https://t.co/QMYfRDp9hI

AZ and NV have the highest hospitalizations per million people in the country. Current hospitalizations in AZ have surpassed the state's peak in the summer. https://t.co/pGEhaciSJ9

NV and AZ currently have the highest hospitalizations per million people in the country. https://t.co/pkiYjesNc3

At publish time, we had no updates from 7 of the 56 states and territories we track: AR, CT, KS, MI, MP, RI, and WA. Seven additional states did not report current hospitalizations today: HI, MN, MS, NV, OK, OR, and WI.

But some small states have severe problems, too. Alabama, Arizona, and Nevada have very high hospitalization rates per capita. https://t.co/Sz9H82Boz8
