Wyoming

This is not an across-the-board methodological change. For cases, like Wyoming, where the state reports confirmed and suspected ~cases~ of COVID-19, we will report only the "confirmed" in our case count. This is just about current hospitalizations.

Another 7 states — HI, ME, MT, NM, SD, UT, WY — are not reporting race / ethnicity for deaths.

TX is reporting but >70% of cases and deaths are listed as unknown.

Some data is better than none, but it's still not enough.

Today, ID is back, but we’re missing hospitalization updates from states including AL, AR, CT, IA, LA, MI, MO, MS, NH, OR, RI, SC, and WY. Some due to the new HHS directive, others because it’s the weekend.

We will keep reporting on the availability of this data.

Our daily update is published. States reported 1 million tests, 55k cases, and 975 deaths. 34k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19. WI, ND, UT and WY reported record high case counts today. https://t.co/W4cOO1iVZp

In some states with worsening outbreaks, the virus has already arrived in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities: Ohio, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have posted record high numbers of COVID-19 cases in these facilities this week.

Following the trend in the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Montana, and Wyoming have also seen big spikes in their case per capita numbers. https://t.co/u9QgLClrjg

3 facilities in Wyoming made up 50% of the state’s new long-term care cases over the past 3 weeks. The state’s health department says hospitalizations are at record levels and several hospitals are at capacity for ICU beds. https://t.co/JDJjNdALeR

As part of our continuing project to create a cleaner, more comparable dataset across states, we switched to a new time series for the state of Wyoming. It resulted in an increase of 222k tests since the beginning of the pandemic. Read more: https://t.co/9xPNckVjIM

All of the previous data remains on the state of Wyoming's page and in our API, but we changed our default presentation. This post lays out why we've made these changes over the last couple of months. https://t.co/P58A4xRhyp

The following jurisdictions did not report today: AS, CT, FL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MP, NC, NH, OH, RI, SC, SD, UT, VI, VT, WY. 10 more reported partial data. Some will report two days of data tomorrow.

A handful of states reported data for more than one day today, a result of data disruptions caused by the Thanksgiving holiday. On the other hand, CO, NJ, TX, WA, and WY only published partial updates today.

In WY, total PCR tests decreased by ~100k after changes in reporting from commercial laboratories revealed duplicate test counts. We are backfilling our Total PCR tests (specimens) to reflect this new information.

An important caveat: Today's data is missing updates from AK, ID, MP, WA, and WY. Partial updates were provided from several other states. There may be a slight holiday effect reflected in data later this week.

A reminder that some states do not report COVID-19 data on the weekends, and today's figures are missing updates from: AK, CT, KS, LA, MP, NM, RI, and WY. https://t.co/5XpgjRdDH0
