DayWatch: COVID19 Pandemic

We, at eLynk, started this project to closely watch the COVID19 pandemic progression in the United States. Our daily report captures the “Total”, “Daily New” and “Daily Growth/Decay (%)” of the confirmed positive and death cases of the COVID19 pandemic, state by state, all across the United States.

The status quo of the pandemic is changing every hours in a fast pace. Our decisions, either relaxing or tightening up the mitigation measures, will directly impact us, our family, our loved ones, our business and those of other fellow citizens such as our friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

Our goal is to analyze and visualize the data as transparent and easy to comprehend as possible for you to wisely protect your business, family and your loved ones.

Data Source

We use John Hopkins GitHub data source (JHU CSSE GitHub). The data is updated frequently every day mostly in the afternoon.

Data Variation

The variation of the positively new confirmed and new death cases reported at the state level on a daily basis is high. The batch processing and reporting of data might be most likely the cause of this effect. The data administration is run by several centers in each state. Batch processing test results and data collection will cause hiccups and spikes in data trend continuity. The daily variation of the reported data can be smoothen out using Smoothing functions

Data Revision

Monitoring the data source in the last few weeks reveals that the data administration is constantly updating data to make it as accurate as possible. Because of that the reported data of the previous days may change due to the recent updates. A good example is the new death cases that occurred on 04/24 (DayWatch Date) in New York but released as 438 cases on 04/24 and 212 cases on 4/25 (Data Released Dates). Those updates and corrections are inevitable. They may cause the reports inconsistent but they are crucial for the data maintenance. To stay on top of the data revisions, we issue our report with the following three (3) dates and update our previous reports when the data update is found:

Date Report Issued: The date that we issue the report on our website
DayWatch Date: The date that DayWatch considers as “As of Date” to run the report
Date Data Released: The date that the data is released on the data source

Data Discrepancies

The population reported by the data source is not in line with the United States Census Bureau report found here State Population Totals: 2010-2019 at this Excel file .

Here is the list of states with the population variance:
