As an observer, a veteran of rigorous data collection and management methods, The author is watching the COVID-19 goat rodeo being executed by many different states' health organizations. From the author's perspective, this is what he sees: no auditing of the source data, no protection of the data from corrupting influences, no named owners of any of the processes involved.

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?

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.

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.

"COVID-19 data accuracy would be unacceptable in the business world"

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.

When I accompanied my father to the hospital I had to repeatedly answer the same questions about his condition and medical history, only to have doctors and nurses completely ignore those notes and either ask me yet again or just tell me things completely contradicting what I had told other doctors or nurses before. I'm surprised anyone survives modern medicine. I was tempted to have his previous condition printed in large type and laminated for doctors to read, but more likely than not they would ignore that too.

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.
