Hi PhantomMike0, just wanted to see if you were able to get the Washington State historical to present-day data for daily positive cases / daily deaths from Lomanban (talk) or any other source. I work at a college in Washington State and I'm trying to find data that I can trace back to the original source to create an accurate and credible visualization. Thanks for any insight you can offer. Kjh7r (talk) 22:20, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Kjh7r, I have not heard back from Lomanban. I am getting the historical data from the following Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_States#State_number_of_reported_cases_by_date

Click on the "show" link and it will reveal a table that has the data broken down by each day for each state

To get the daily data for WA State quicker, I pull from this page:

https://www.doh.wa.gov/emergencies/coronavirus

Clearly WA DOH has the data, but it has not been clear to me how to access all the historical data directly from them. If you need the most accurate source, I would contact them to see if they have a feed or other way to access the historical data from their official source. If you find out how to do this, let me know. Since I got the historical data from the first web page above and daily data from DOH that is good enough for me so I haven't pursued WA DOH any further.

Thanks for the advice PhantomMike0! If you ever need the source data, I have it now available online here: https://github.com/kendrickhang/wa-covid-19 - every value in this dataset is traceable back to an official DoH source. I was able to obtain a spreadsheet that has values for 2020-01-21 through 2020-03-19, and I am snapshotting data from their website (same URL as you mention above) every day after that.
