Teddy, this is from the COVID Tracking site for Texas for today:

quote:

On July 27, TX added 675 additional deaths through death certificate reviews. However only 44 deaths were truly new deaths on July 27th. This will inflate the daily increase in deaths until the timeseries has been backfilled based on this revision

What I've done once before when New Jersey dumped in a ton of deaths, was to take the additional deaths and spread them back over time based on each day's % of total deaths.

I will do that for texas tonight, by tomorrow AM Texas will show 44 deaths for today.

I have to calculate each day's adjusted number and then put those into a database table I created when I did NJ's dump. My import routines read that table and adjust that states day's deaths to include the additional deaths. It then pulls out the overstated deaths from the 7/27/20 death number.

UPDATE 9:50PM Texas is corrected, I spread the deaths back over time so the overall total deaths remain the same for both Texas and the US.
