Covid daily cases charts
Thanks for updating numerous medical cases charts! We've undoubtedly seen each other in the edit history. Weather events may knock me offline this week. Could you make sure AZ, CO, ID, MT, ND, NV, SD, TX, and WY keep getting daily updates? NM, OR, and UT too, but those can be back updated at any future date.

You're very welcome! I will keep my eye out and update accordingly as best I can. I am very new to Wikipedia (I got involved when I realized certain states were never getting updated), so I apologize if this message doesn't reach you. Stattracker24 (talk) 16:56, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Massachusetts data
The recovery figures from this chart are apparently calculated using the estimated numbers of active cases, would it be better to use the released from isolation numbers directly?--Horizon Sunset (talk) 02:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for updating the data

You're welcome! I took over when someone else seemed to have given up so I was going off of the previous method. I do believe the Released from Isolation numbers are updated once a week and that recovery number lines up with the calculation on that day. I will take a look at the next weekly report to confirm, but I think keeping it as is provides a more real time look at the recovery progress. Stattracker24 (talk) 02:46, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey Stattracker24, I'm working on updating my script (which broke, again, when MA changed their data format). Are you able to find active data on recovered cases? I'm not seeing it anywhere in their recent reports. Thanks for all your hard work keeping these up-to-date. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 01:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey GorillaWarefare,

I can't find it anywhere either. I think they must have removed it whenever they updated their latest data format since it isn't in any reports or on the dashboard. Once a state discontinues reporting, I tend to just keep it stagnant. Sorry I can't help. Stattracker24 (he/him • talk) 06:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I think they stopped reporting it when they stopped releasing weekly reports. No worries, just wanted to double check that I wasn't missing something. Thanks again! GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 16:29, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Texas case numbers
FYI, Texas publishes a spreadsheet with Covid case counts. You can find a link somewhere in their dashboard. (I also listed the direct link as a reference in the county table.) It is where I get the data for the county table. The case and death totals seem to always match the dashboard, though the recoveries are usually off by a few. When the dashboard isn't updated (like today), often the spreadsheet is still updated. This provides a backup source for the daily chart. Thank you for you work updating numerous states' daily chart.

Recovery data for Oklahoma
Hey stattracker24,

It seems like you are using "total cases - fatalities - active cases" to calculate the recovery data. However, because the fatality data are only updated once every week, would it be better to directly use the recovery data on weekly epidemiology reports?--Horizon Sunset (talk) 17:42, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes absolutely! I had never seen that statistic and agree we should use that rather than my calculation. Thank you!! Stattracker24 (talk) 18:20, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

FYI - Vermont stopping updates to its COVID dashboard after May 18
- Thank you very much for your continued updating of the Vermont COVID numbers. FYI, the VT Health Dept has indicated they will stop updating the COVID dashboard tomorrow, May 18, 2022, and move instead to providing weekly updates. So if you are pulling the numbers from that dashboard, it will be ending. However, the state indicates they will continue making the raw data files available and so if you are using those, they should continue. (Although I'm not 100% sure about how often.) Anyway, I just wanted to give you this heads-up, and thank you again for all you are doing! - Dyork (talk) 19:16, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

- you're very welcome! I will do my best to locate up to date data after tomorrow, but I may need to switch to weekly like several other states have done. Stattracker24 (talk)

Data sources for several states
Thank you for keeping track on COVID data. I have noticed that some of the data are no longer updated when the data are still available.

California

Both case and fatality data are still available in state webpage for data download.

Utah

No need to use CDC data as fatality counts continue to be reported, scroll down to the page to find it. Case data is also reported in IBIS.

I will let you know if I find anything else:) Horizon Sunset (talk) 04:12, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh boy; I didn't see either of those. Let me know what you think is the best way to move forward. Are you aware of other states where that is the case? I know I became aware of South Dakota's new dashboard long after I thought case counts had been discontinued. Stattracker24 (talk) 17:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
