GA_daily_status_report_GDPH.csv - Test data #14

We started collecting test data today. If we're collecting test data we might as well also collect the number of positive tests. Tests data will be much more informative if we also have positive tests

I can add those, but would not that be the same as new cases? I have added new columns to the file (request by Andreas) with new daily cases, new daily fatalities, new daily tests (by just subtracting from the day before). Let me know how you would like to move forward

I'm not sure if it would be the same as new cases or not -- you could check before going to the effort

lsalvador commented 4 years ago

For today's update, the number of positive tests is exactly the same as the number of cases (1643). Regarding the tests, I don't differentiate between GPHL and Commercial lab tests. I just add the two

I will keep an eye in tomorrow's update to see if there is any difference, but I don't think it should. If we find differences, then there are some cases that are considered positive without being tested

lsalvador commented 4 years ago

In today's 12 pm update, the number of positive tests continue to be the same as the number of cases, so I will leave the file as it is since we are capturing all the information. Let me know if you would like me to revisit this issue at a later stage. I will close this issue.
