[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4497656, member: 18222"] Thanks for the new site ... I was going by the graphs I had saved last Monday and it showed 0 one day and 4 the next. The GPH/DPH site [URL='https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-daily-status-report']COVID-19 Status Report[/URL] Stopped showing the graphs of new cases and deaths. Although the AJC says their source is the GPH, their graphs look different and deaths are way off. [SIZE=7][B]Ah-Ha![/B][/SIZE] I found the explanation below in [COLOR=#ff0000]red[/COLOR]. I'll have to look into this deeper to understand whether or whose reports are more accurate. In essence, the AJC takes the date on which the death was reported rather than when it occurred. The number of deaths are greatly exaggerated in the AJC numbers and graphs. On the other side, the GPH numbers and graphs are lower on the report date than actual. [I]Q: Why do the AJC’s charts look different from DPH's charts? A: Recently, DPH has added trend charts to their site, “COVID-19 Cases over Time” and “Confirmed COVID Deaths over Time.” In those charts, as new reports come in, [B][COLOR=#ff0000]DPH allocates them to earlier dates, based on when symptoms developed; tests were taken or reported to the state; or deaths occurred.[/COLOR][/B] Those two time-series charts are always going to show a downward trend because of the lag in when the data is reported. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]On May 1, for example, the chart of cases showed 21 news cases. Now the chart shows more than 600 for that date.[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]We believe showing running averages of cases and deaths, along with the day's latest data on new infections and deaths, is the most accurate and clear way to show trends over time. [/COLOR]Many other organizations use this visualization. This is how the AJC determines our daily count of new, confirmed cases: [Today's cumulative DPH case count] - [Yesterday's cumulative DPH case count] = Today's AJC daily count of new cases. We do the same for deaths.[/I] [/QUOTE]
