Because the day-to-day updates have ceased with 23 July 2020, I can make the assumption that a) No additional cases or deaths have occurred, b) The Wikipedia editors with knowledge of the Nebraska sources have succumbed to Covid-19, c) The state health department has ceased publishing their collated data, d) Nobody cares about Nebraska.
The Nebraska dashboard publishes only case counts at the county level, not death counts. Data is presented in the very transcription unfriendly order by case count, instead of county name. With 93 counties, nobody wants to type all these numbers every day into alphabetical order. I built a spreadsheet to partially automate generation of this article's table. It takes three copy-paste operations to go from a dashboard screenscrape to Wikipedia: First paste into a scratch spreadsheet for sorting, then paste into a markup generating spreadsheet, and finally paste into the template here. The KOLN graphic appears to aggregate disparate state and county sources - as such it is not a reliable source.
