The CDC is a government funded organization where the director is appointed by Biden. Each state reports their COVID numbers to the CDC daily. These numbers are posted on their respective websites. I’ve noticed the CDC pads South Carolina’s numbers considerably.
SC reported under 2000 cases yet the CDC reports almost 4000 on 8-15.
What are they doing in your state and why are they misinforming the public?
Covid shouldn’t be a political issue, but unfortunately it is one and because it is a health and political issue it affects businesses. Learning which sources of information to trust is very valuable for any business. JMHO.
SC’s DHEC new case dashboard is brutally counter-intuitive. They appear to post new case numbers daily, but there’s no master table or chart with previous daily numbers. The only thing they have for past numbers is a weekly numbers chart.
Also SCDHEC shows 673k cases, and the CDC only shows 669K cases in the state.
You have to ask yourself why is the CDC inflating Georgia’s reported numbers by 24%? I could see a +/- of 1% error. This is why I have little trust in government sponsored agencies and the information they provide. The CDC has misstepped and misinformed the public since the beginning of this pandemic. If they are screwing up the numbers what else have they screwed up? The final numbers are probably tallied on the Biden appointed CDC directors desk.
I’ve never trusted CDC case numbers. I trust the numbers from hospitals and what they are seeing. That is the concern. The only thing from the CDC I’ve trusted so far is: wear a mask in populated areas, wash and sanitize your hands and stay away from idiots.
