As we wind down data compilation, we want to help everyone understand how to find and use federal COVID-19 numbers. Today, we’re going over CDC case data. covidtracking.com/analysis-updat…
The @CDCgov publishes aggregate and line-level case data. Aggregate data includes total numbers of cases by jurisdiction and totals for confirmed and probable cases where available. Line-level includes a de-identified line for each case with detailed demographic data.
The CDC aggregate case data is extremely similar to the state-reported data we have been capturing. US cartogram showing which states match exactly between CTP
You can download this data from @CDCgov and on HealthData.gov in a variety of formats, including CSV and XML. It’s also possible to filter, sort, and visualize the data on the CDC website without downloading it.

Our weekly update is published. COVID-19 cases have been declining for 6 weeks, hospitalizations for 5 weeks, and deaths for 4 weeks. States reported fewer than 15K deaths this week, for the first time in 2021.

Data this week was disrupted by 2 confounding factors: a holiday and a major winter storm which resulted in an artificial drop and rise in daily COVID-19 figures. Our post about day-of-the-week effects can help contextualize these wobbles.

Since vaccinations began in late 2020, we expected them to show up first in our Long-Term-Care data. And it finally has.

Deaths in LTCs have fallen drastically. After adjusting for backlogs, our weekly deaths figure has declined ~70% since Jan 7.
