aTable 1. The update and check times by state for the data on actual COVID-19 deaths I obtained from the COVID-19 Tracking Project's website. If you go to this link https://covidtracking.com/data/ and click "as a spreadsheet" in the text near the top of the page, it will take you to this same spreadsheet (tab "States Current").
I did not include data from Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands in the current study. This is because while data for these regions was included in the COVID Tracking Project's spreadsheet, it was not included in the IHME predictions, which as mentioned before included only the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (hereafter simply "the United States".
