This one seems to not be working any more. All I see is "not fully configured" in all of the boxes.

That happens from time to time with this one. I just checked and it seems fine now.
Was it? I wonder why I was able to access it then.
You may not have reached your monthly quota? Or maybe they are doing it by area you are pinging in.
Perhaps - maybe I'm showing up as local. I know the chronicle kicked me out not long ago (I think it was in March) so I was pleasantly surprised when this had worked for me today.

Not sure about other states, but shortly (or maybe already) Colorado’s numbers will be inaccurate. I am an RN working in a Denver metro hospital and we have moved from an isolation to a mitigation model. We are not testing people who show up at hospitals with symptoms unless they actually require hospitalization. There are not enough tests and they take too long to process to be useful. There is growing debate as to how to report these presumptive positive cases for data tracking as the great majority will never be actually tested moving forward.
Edited to add: I work for a major hospital system and I know that this policy is not only true for my system, but also for the other major hospital systems across the state (they are working together to come up with consistent information.)

Thanks for this information.
I already assumed that our numbers were off (e.g. the story yesterday of the nurse in CB who had symptoms but was unable to get tested, plus many others).
I am so angry at our federal government for fucking up our testing scenario weeks ago. It seems certain that far more people will die because we are still unable to test adequately.

Same here. I work for a major hospital system also and there are very few tests available. Today they are opening a testing site with the capacity to test up to 20 people per day.

Has anyone seen a tracking site that shows cases by state along with the number of tests done by state? I can find it by going to the different state health department websites (well, some of them have it), but it would be helpful if there was one site that compiled it all. I feel like this is going to give us a better idea of community spread that just the numbers alone.

Here in RI, it is also the case that if you have symptoms you are told to stay home and self-quarantine (I don't think all people are adhering to this though) and not given a test.
So all of the numbers of who has been diagnosed, etc. cannot be any sort of an indication of how many people actually have it here.
I haven't seen any numbers regarding "presumed positives" which I guess would be all of the people sent home with mild or moderate symptoms. I can see why they can't be fully considered that, because some of them probably just have a bad cold or the flu. I still would like to see some more information on where this is at locally though.

No, presumed positive means the person tested positive using a state lab but it hasn't been "confirmed" by the CDC. I think almost all tests that are positive in state testing end up being confirmed by the CDC.

I cannot remember where I found this nor can I speak to the reliability, but this exists:

Same in NH; we have been running out of tests regularly and people are being told to assume they have it based on their symptoms, and to self quarantine, but that no tests are available.

This isn't really a data tracker but...prospective scenarios across the US if we don't shelter, if we social distance, if we shelter-in-place, if we lockdown - with last-chance dates. Seattle/Washington state has already passed it's point of no return, which is kind of scary.
