Bug or data error in NY deaths #177
Comments
Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like the folks at NYTimes are aware of this and have commented on this here: nytimes/covid-19-data#261 It seems like this is related to their recent decision to include probable cases/deaths: https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/blob/master/PROBABLE-CASES-NOTE.md |

The Weekly Reported Death rate for NY jumped from 2007 on 5/5 to 7941 on 5/6.
NY reclassified ~1700 nursing home deaths a few days ago but that wouldn't explain such a large jump in weekly rates.
