Iowa Covid - 19 Data Flawed [View all]
Iowa has been under reporting the Covid-19 cases and the data error was found just in time as School Districts are reviewing how to open back up. Covid Kim Reynolds has zero integrity.
Per the Des Moines Register...
The glitch means the Iowa Department of Public Health has inadvertently been reporting fewer new infections and a smaller percentage of daily positive tests than is truly the case, according to Dana Jones, an Iowa City nurse practitioner who uncovered the problem. It’s particularly significant because school districts are relying on state data to determine whether they will offer in-person instruction when school resumes in the coming days and weeks.
Potentially thousands of coronavirus infections from recent weeks and months have instead been erroneously recorded as having happened in March, April, May and June, Jones said Monday.
