Not all measures are reported by all states. The positive, negative, death, death_confirmed, probable_cases and death_probable measures are cumulative counts. death_confirmed is the total number deaths of individuals with COVID-19 infection confirmed by a laboratory test. In states where the information is available, it tracks only those laboratory-confirmed deaths where COVID also contributed to the death according to the death certificate. death_probable is the total number of deaths where COVID was listed as a cause of death and there is not a laboratory test confirming COVID-19 infection.
