1/7 Each day #JohnsHopkins publishes *cumulative* counts of #COVID19 cases for each county in the USA. As a public service I wrote code to convert that cumulative count data into *daily* counts for all USA counties. #CovidData #Covid19Data 
2/7 This daily count data is in one csv file per month. There is one set of files with daily *case* counts and another set of files with daily *death* counts. Anyone can download and use this data. The only limitation is no commercial use.
Not placing blame. Not accusing anyone of purposeful deception. Just pointing out a problem in the hope it can be fixed. I am so thankful for all the data being provided. I just think it may be time for a little clean up.

The data being provided for analysis by FL DOH in their Data Hub (open-fdoh.hub.arcgis.com/search?q=covid) does not match the data in the FL DOH COVID-19 Dashboard (experience.arcgis.com/experience/96d…) and different variables within the FL DOH COVID-19 Dashboard contradict each other.
Furthermore, Florida is grouping people into three groups: FL residents in FL, non-FL residents in FL, and FL residents outside of Florida. However, the various measures on the FL DOH Dashboard alternately separate, combine, and/or leave off these groups in calculations.
For the most part, asthma, hypertension, and diabetes are inequalities — differences that are a direct result of racism, poverty, disinvestment, and other structural barriers — not “pre-existing conditions.”
