Total Recovered data for US has dropped to 0 #987

Open NateEag opened 4 years ago

NateEag commented 4 years ago

On the site right now, when I select "US" in the "Confirmed Cases By Country/Region/Sovereignty" panel, in the "Total Recovered" panel, I get zero. That wasn't the case as of yesterday (or even this morning, I think).

Using Chrome's dev inspector, I noticed that the JSON from this link has 0 for every Recovered entry.

Quick check in a bash prompt with jq after pasting the JSON into data.json:

$ jq .features[].attributes.Recovered data.json | sort | uniq
0

I am experiencing the same issue with the US data.

Same here, I was following WA state quite closely as my parents still live there and there was one recovered person there and now there are none.

brloynd commented 4 years ago

Ya I am seeing this too. I know for a fact there several people that are recovered. Heck I think half the Jazz now is considered recovered.

Looks like they made another switch in their reporting. Now it is by country roll-up rather than state for recovered count. Can someone validate this? image

ballcoach12 commented 4 years ago

This data really needs to be made consistent.

aheib987 commented 4 years ago

Agreed, I had the US dashboard ready to publish and then I saw the inconsistency. Hopefully they don't switch up the country field. https://public.tableau.com/profile/tony1082#!/vizhome/COVID-19_15845105291080/COVID-19

whalebonelanding commented 4 years ago

data are being used for decision making and need to be validated. How do we get attention? I also emailed the help desk directly.

I think this is a consequence of this issue:

https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/1250

Apparently recovered is no longer part of the dataset.

Feel like they should have announced this on the website, so people who were watching the recovery rates would know why they vanished.

whalebonelanding commented 4 years ago

Thank you Nate. I was concerned about the lack of an update on this. I wonder if the number recovered at the country level Is valid?

I have no knowledge on that point, but if they gave up on recovery numbers as a whole, I wouldn't personally trust any that remain in the dataset.

whalebonelanding commented 4 years ago

I was looking for their data dictionary if one exists.
