Thanks for the update!

Indeed, it often happens that twicks in table formatting breaks our ability to read from it. There is indeed a problem with our parser now. I have a alerted the team and this will be fixed shortly.

Thanks again for letting us know,

Adi

Hi all,

A number of people have noticed over the past ~day that the data for cases reported in Wisconsin by county is showing up incorrectly in the Google stats card. I've verified that this is still an issue. It looks like it might be due to the stats card pulling in data from the wrong row of the table (negative or per-capita tests rather than confirmed positive), but I'm not 100% sure. Quickly scanning the history of the page, looks like there were some recent formatting tweaks – possible that they caused an issue in scraping/parsing? 

Google team: let me know if there's any more information I can provide to assist with triage!

COVID case count task force folks: looks like the person who added the by-county table to that page was looking for help with table formatting (maybe related to why this issue occurred?), just FYI in case you want to help them out :)

Best,

Maryana
