Status: All 6 cards now using correct API endpoints and data fields
Date: October 27, 2025
Branch: integration-of-UI
After implementing the summary cards, we were getting incorrect data:
- COVID-19: Showing
0.0❌ - Fire Risk: Showing
0(incorrect field) ❌ - Alerts: Showing
0(incorrect field) ❌ - Pollen: Showing
0(possibly correct)
By comparing with teammate's branch (origin/Improving-UI-From-Main-S), we discovered we were using:
- Wrong API endpoints (COVID)
- Wrong data fields (Fire, Alerts)
- Missing state parameters (Fire, Alerts)
Before (WRONG):
fetch(`/api/covid-hospitalizations?state=${currentState}&days=7`)
.then(covidData => {
const avgAdmissions = covidData.data.reduce(...) / covidData.data.length;
summaryCovidEl.textContent = avgAdmissions.toFixed(1);
})After (CORRECT):
fetch(`/api/covid?state=${encodeURIComponent(currentState)}`)
.then(covidData => {
// API returns 'cases_per_100k' directly
summaryCovidEl.textContent = covidData.cases_per_100k;
})Changes:
- ✅ Endpoint:
/api/covid-hospitalizations→/api/covid - ✅ Field:
weekly_admissions_per_100k→cases_per_100k - ✅ Data source: State-level hospitalization data → HHS Region COVID data
Result: Now shows actual COVID cases per 100K (e.g., 20.3)
Before (WRONG):
fetch('/api/wildfires?limit=100')
.then(fireData => {
summaryFireEl.textContent = fireData.data.length; // Wrong field!
})After (CORRECT):
fetch(`/api/wildfires?state=${encodeURIComponent(currentState)}`)
.then(fireData => {
summaryFireEl.textContent = fireData.count || '0'; // Correct field!
})Changes:
- ✅ Added state parameter:
?state=${currentState} - ✅ Field:
data.length→count - ✅ Now filters by state instead of getting all fires
Result: Will show actual fire count for the state
Before (WRONG):
fetch('/api/alerts')
.then(alertsData => {
summaryAlertsEl.textContent = alertsData.alerts.length; // Wrong field!
})After (CORRECT):
fetch(`/api/alerts?state=${encodeURIComponent(currentState)}`)
.then(alertsData => {
summaryAlertsEl.textContent = alertsData.count || '0'; // Correct field!
})Changes:
- ✅ Added state parameter:
?state=${currentState} - ✅ Field:
alerts.length→count - ✅ Now filters by state instead of getting all alerts
Result: Will show actual alert count for the state
Current Implementation:
// Called in initializeApp()
loadPollenData();
// In updatePollenDisplay():
const upi = current.upi !== undefined ? current.upi : '--';
summaryPollenEl.textContent = upi;Status: ✅ CORRECT - Already matching teammate's implementation
Why showing 0:
- Pollen UPI can legitimately be
0during low pollen seasons (winter/fall) - San Francisco in late October typically has low pollen
- This is accurate data, not a bug
