CDC NREVSS — weekly RSV test specimens and positives

NREVSS is the long-running multi-pathogen lab network. The full system covers flu, RSV, parainfluenza, hMPV, adenovirus, etc.; this Socrata view exposes only the RSV portion. Other pathogens are in sibling Socrata datasets (separate ingests).

Coverage

  • —Time: 2010-07-10 → 2020-06-27
  • —Cadence: weekly (observed median spacing: 7 days)
  • —Geography levels: subnational-region — 10 unique location IDs
  • —Countries: US
  • —Pathogens: rsv
  • —Surveillance category: respiratory
  • —Rows: 10,313

Additional data columns

  • —`testtype` — Antigen or PCR. Always 2 rows per (date, region) — one per test type. Treat as a row-level dimension; downstream % positive is computed per testtype.
  • —`outlier` — 1 = source itself flagged this point as an outlier (excluded from CDC's published trend).
  • —`location_name` — HHS N for traceability. location_id (US-HHS-N) is canonical.

Interpretation caveats

Things that may differ from how other sources define a similar measure. If you're combining this dataset with another, read these first.

  • —`rsvtest` — PCR vs antigen counts are NOT comparable. PCR ramped up post-2018; antigen has been the long-term backbone but is less sensitive. Don't sum across testtype — they're parallel signals.
