Daily COVID-19 doctor visits and cases from all states in archive format — archive_cases_dv_subset_all

This data source is based on information about outpatient visits, provided to us by health system partners, and also contains confirmed COVID-19 cases based on reports made available by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. This example data ranges from June 1, 2020 to December 1, 2021, issued on dates from June 1, 2020 to December 1, 2021. It includes all US states.

It is used in the epipredict sliding article.

This object contains a modified part of the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University as republished in the COVIDcast Epidata API.

Modifications:

From the COVIDcast Doctor Visits API: The signal percent_cli is taken directly from the API without changes.
From the COVIDcast Epidata API: case_rate signal was computed by Delphi from the original JHU-CSSE data by calculating moving averages of the preceding 7 days, so the signal for June 7 is the average of the underlying data for June 1 through 7, inclusive.
Furthermore, the data has been limited to a very small number of rows, the signal names slightly altered, and formatted into an epi_archive.

Data dictionary
