investigate why no data is shown when covid viz first loads

[matthewcornell]

There is no data shown initially when the viz load for https://zoltardata.com/project/44/viz . However, there is forecast data in Zoltar. Why isn't that data visualized? As of now I have to click left five times to see any data:

• /api/project/44/viz-data/?is_forecast=false&target_key=week_ahead_incident_deaths&unit_abbrev=US&reference_date=2023-03-04
• /api/project/44/viz-data/?is_forecast=true&target_key=week_ahead_incident_deaths&unit_abbrev=US&reference_date=2023-03-04

We have this forecast data in zoltar:

• COVIDhub-baseline - https://www.zoltardata.com/model/302
  • timezeros: 2023-04-10, 2023-04-03, 2023-03-27, 2023-03-20, 2023-03-13, 2023-03-06, 2023-02-27
• COVIDhub-ensemble - https://www.zoltardata.com/model/159
  • timezeros: same

We have this truth data in zoltar:

• https://www.zoltardata.com/project/44/truth
  • timezeros: 2023-03-06, 2023-02-26

Questions:

• why is 2023-03-04 the last reference_date with forecasts?
  • recall nick: because I think the forecasts for this week haven’t been uploaded/cached by the viz yet
  • we see above that there IS newer forecast data
• why is 2023-02-25 the last reference_date with truth?
  • recall nick: For many of the targets we don’t have any truth data (e.g. day ahead incident hospitalizations, for one) or any/many forecasts (day ahead cumulative deaths, for one).
  • -> Q: Did we stop uploading truth data around 2023-03-06?

From this slack thread from @nickreich :

The covid project has been starting to shut down different targets. So the week ahead incident death target, the default first target shown, has not had anyone submit forecasts in several weeks. See Forecast explorer here to confirm: https://www.zoltardata.com/project/44/forecasts?color_by=targets&target=week+ahead+inc[…]ths&date_range=2022-11-27+to+2023-04-10&min_num_forecasts=1

Basically people are only submitting hospitalization forecasts right now.
