If IBM managed data as ineptly as many state-run medical operations are currently doing during this COVID-19 panic-demic, it would have gone out of business years ago.
IBM is a company that deals with a lot of data, and it works hard to get that data right, harder than any company I've ever observed. If I've learned anything from my years with IBM, getting the data right is a hard job. IBM has spent years perfecting methods for getting data right, from validating the source data to guaranteeing it processes that data with no corrupting influences. Why? It affects every business element of the company, and more importantly, it ensures that when IBM publishes its business results, those results are accurate and believable.
So, how does IBM do this? As a business, IBM has a large number of processes that make the company hum. These business processes all have designated business process owners who manage them and are responsible for their compliance with standards. Those not familiar with how a business process is constructed, think of it as a series of steps to get work done. These business process steps are enabled by computing technology that collects and processes data. Every business process within IBM has to pass an information processing audit.
If changes are introduced to any process, it has to be reaudited. I have been through a lot of these audits, and they are rigorous and brutally honest. IBM calls this data compliance program "Application Systems Control and Auditability" (ASCA). Its role is to ascertain and certify that the IBM Corporation's information assets are protected, and that’s why you never hear about IBM's information systems being compromised.

FauXi’s definition of an infection disease
DIAGNOSED by signs and symptoms is UNACCEPTABLE
to medicine.
FauXi is a fraud who should HAVE BEEN arrested
for pushing retroviruses into people SECRETLY.
Gee if Federal and State governments are ginning up the number for Covid-19, what else have they faked? Is all there data fake for political purposes?
great insight!
That’s the difference between the private sector and the public sector. The public sector is packed with incompetents because virtually no one can be fired. No one is ever held responsible for poor performance because it’s only taxpayer money, not private money.
In the business world, you get fired or go broke if you are incompetent. In government you just keep right on going, and rise into ever higher positions where you continue to be incompetent.
I have worked for the government and in the private sector.
The one big advantage the private sector has is “The Discipline of the Dollar.”
They have an easily understood way to measure success. Is the organization making a profit?
I had to eliminate entire departments in the private sector because those departments weren’t contributing to our profitability.
Try eliminating useless departments in government.
The employees all run to the Democrat Party and use political power to make decisions instead of looking at their efficiency and effectiveness.
It wasn’t ineptitude.
And this was NEVER about public health.
Scientific modeling is not a legit methodology. It takes us from the globull “hockey stick” to Covid-19. Listen to Truth.

Evolutionary Psychologist? No kidding EUGENICIST. SLICK & SICK.
Republican fearful are continuing to shoot themselves in the foot. They need to educate themselves about the phony-data issue and hit it hard, instead of accepting the left’s doomsday data and trying to pass the blame to the Mexicans or the Chinese.
Excellent article and ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Besides basic accurate statistics, there should have thorough data collection of patient vitamins taken or D, C and zinc levels, time outside and in sun, as well as when and what drugs were administered. Furthermore, there should have data on healthy people very close to many sick ones. The entire thing was mismanaged from the start. Government and the health industry get a COMPLETE FAIL.
The author is correct — and the problem is far worse than he realizes. A great many studies in medicine cannot be replicated because they are compromised by fundamental statistical flaws, conflicts of interest, and unreliable data. And in the social sciences, most studies are cooked up to provide evidence and argument in favor of a predetermined point. Often, authors do not make their source data freely available as scientific standards of practice require. When provided confidentiality, researchers broadly admit that data manipulation and even fraud are common problems.
The CDC has intentionally contaminated their data since the beginning. Then you get into the lies about masks and how they deceptively list the # of “cases” but decide to not to mention the death rate hasn’t followed. There is certainly enough BS to completely ignore what they are telling us.
Most of what they are spewing is political and I will not follow.
IT ops working for the State would never be acceptable in the Real World but Government from the town to the county to the state to the fed can get away with any crap they want to.
Given the following thread, I’m not so sure that inaccurate COVID-19 data is unacceptable when professionals “follow the money.”
Hospitals Get Paid More For ‘Coronavirus’ Patients, Even If They Haven’t Been Tested
Insights welcome.
IBM is a major government contractor. IBM Health is the contractor for much of the COVID data. In IBM shops since 1983 my experience is that IBM is often less honest than its customers, including government customers.
But compare IBM to Anderson/Accenture and some other government contractors and IBM comes out looking pretty good.
IBM really several companies. Its traditional mainframe techies are quite honest. Its sales staff is extremely dishonest, selling expensive equipment and software which cannot possibly fix a bad application design. Then there is the Watson conglomerate. It probably reflects the fact that it is impossible to find enough educated, competent Americans at any salary ... and its non-citizens come from a culture where telling the boss and customer manager what they want to hear is not considered dishonesty.
Basic facts are either not recorded or ignored. Some may be overwork or laziness because it is easier to ask a family member that read a chart, but when they pull assumptions out of their backsides just making things up they can be dangerous. I would hope that careful research has better data than minute by minute emergency treatment, but apparently not.
It is ordinary and necessary to have the facts repeated over and over.
I believe that the hearing and even recording first hand is to prevent a lawsuit for not asking.
The fault is the hand of a money grubbing ambulance chasing scoundrel of a parasitic lawyer, not the medical professionals.
Most important of all though is your birthday. If you have Biden moments, write it on your forehead
