[data.cms.gov/s2uc-8wxp] Question about "COVID-19 Nursing Home Dataset" #137

Open andybloch opened 3 years ago

andybloch commented 3 years ago

How accurate are the reinfected numbers? The numbers in some cases seem high. For example, I found a nursing home in Texas that reported 34 residents_weekly_confirmed and also 34 number_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected . I suspect that it was a data entry error. (If that is accurate, it is very disturbing that there are 34 reinfections at one nursing home and should be investigated immediately.)

Here is a URL for that nursing home's data: https://data.cms.gov/resource/s2uc-8wxp.json?provider_zip_code=77546&$order=week_ending&$select=week_ending,number_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected,residents_weekly_confirmed

Here are some more that are very suspect: https://data.cms.gov/resource/s2uc-8wxp.json?$order=number_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected+desc&$select=provider_zip_code,federal_provider_number,week_ending,number_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected,residents_weekly_confirmed&$where=residents_weekly_confirmed%3C%3dnumber_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected+and+number_of_residents_with_a_new_positive_covid_19_test_result_who_are_reinfected%3E3
