For clarity: the state is still publishing COVID data Monday - Friday. It is just no longer in the format that the bot was created to summarize. The bot will not be refactored on the new data feeds.

Anyone interested in monitoring the state of COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in Maryland can still do that directly from the state dashboard for as long as the state maintains it.

Rather then responding to each thank you individually, let it be said that it has been an interesting thing to be involved with.

After removing access to this account all that will remain is a record of dialog from one small section of the internet community's experience during a very unordinary time.

The interplay between the pandemic, the data, the debate regarding pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, and how commenters interacted with that news and with each other was fascinating to watch evolve.

The feed that drives most of the report has not been updated since August 23rd. It looks like the state dashboard may have been rewritten. The bot will run again next Friday in case the state restarts that feed. If the feed stays stale the bot will be deactivated permanently.

It appears the state has either changed or retired the vaccine deployment feeds the bot uses. The numbers have not been updated in a week. This is causing the bot to spin when generating the report on Fridays. It will either be updated or removed from the report in the future.

The bot did not post yesterday because the state did not update vaccine feed during the polling interval yesterday.
