We wanted to point out that the data now includes California probable cases identified through antigen testing, which results in a substantial increase in cumulative cases for the U.S., California and many CA counties. The source is a state health department dataset first published at the end of June. State-level probable data is added in our data back to July 1 and county-level data is added on July 8, based on the date cases were announced. These anomalies are listed with our rolling averages dataset.
It's our methodology to include cases on the date they are reported. California also provides historical data based on "episode date," which may be preferable for some analyses. California also has a list of total probable cases by month back to June 2020.
California does not currently include probable cases for San Diego County, so our source for probable cases there is the county's weekly report.
