"A number of friends and visitors to the site have noticed a discrepancy in how we count “new” cases and how the state of Georgia is counting new cases.
For example, on April 21st, Covid Mapping Project reports 934 “new” cases. Covid Tracking, a companion site run by a team from The Atlantic, doesn’t report differentials but they do report a day by day tracking of cases. On April 20, they report Georgia had 18,947 positive cases and on April 21st they reported 19,881 cases. A differential of 934. Same as us.
However, if you got the GA DPH website (where most of us source our data), you’ll see 10 “new” cases. That was later revised to 84. And then 138. It's a moving number that will likely change every day for at least a week. Quite different than the 934 we’re reporting."
