Data source based on flu lab tests, provided to us by Quidel, Inc. When a
32+
patient (whether at a doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital) has COVID-like
33+
symptoms, doctors may perform a flu test to rule out seasonal flu (influenza),
34+
because these two diseases have similar symptoms. Using this lab test data, we
35+
estimate the total number of flu tests per medical device (a measure of testing
36+
frequency), and the percentage of flu tests that are *negative* (since ruling
37+
out flu leaves open another cause---possibly covid---for the patient's
38+
symptoms), in a given location, on a given day.
39+
40+
The number of flu tests conducted in individual counties can be quite small, so
41+
we do not report these signals at the county level.
42+
43+
The flu test data is no longer updated as of May 19, 2020, as the number of flu
44+
tests conducted during the summer (outside of the normal flu season) is quite
45+
small. The data may be updated again when the Winter 2020 flu season begins.
