I’m calculating a rolling 7 day positivity rate of 10.83%. In fact, we haven’t had a single day over 15% at any point within the last week. This is based on IDPH data available on their website. Why are they continuing to report a statewide 7 day rolling average of 15%. Seems like an error in their press releases but maybe I’m missing something.

@Data - Are you allowing for a three day lag? I believe that IDPH holds off on rolling in the newest days for a little while.

===three day lag===
Yep.

I wonder how accurate those numbers are…. is there any hind site auditing of CV19 deaths?

==Are you allowing for a three day lag?==
I don’t think that explains it. For one, we haven’t had a 15% positivity rate on any day for the last 10 days.
The rolling average for 05/08 to 05/14 (factoring in the 3 day lag) is 12.83%. Additionally, the Governor report at his Friday press conference that our rolling seven day average was 12%.
It is either an error or we are all missing something.

The death totals don’t equal yesterday’s totals plus new deaths. 4,129 plus 51 is 4,180, not 4,177. This has happened several times with the DPH data.
What am I missing?

Simple - Some of the counties are not receiving or entering some of the data prior to the daily reporting of data.

I see an article from the Sun-Times today noting that advertising 100 fewer deaths from this virus over a three day period recently then knowing numbers get higher by Tuesday. While I hope this is a trend, the way things have been going I don’t know.

-Some counties not entering data prior to reporting-
I would agree except for the fact that my rates were calculated based on current IDPH data listed on the website. Not data issues on the static press releases.
