Well, I don’t think it’s a “whoops” per se, I think the problem is testing has been so sparse and uneven across regions, and the time to get a result is so highly variable. We have some of the best modelers in the world where I am, and even they have a hard time because of the variabilities in the available data. If it took, say, 48 hours to get a result, I think everything from reporting to modeling would be a million times better. Unfortunately, it takes anywhere from 8 hours to 14 days to get a result, and there is no centralized database to log and extract everything.

The lack of a centralized data source for everyone to contribute to would make this a nearly impossible ask. That, combined with the fact that providers are a) generally not trained for data collection and reporting of this nature and b) have a million other things to do like save lives really would have made it an impossible task.

Just looking over the gross count data we’re seeing, the information is uneven. The chain of reporting from providers to county and state agencies before it gets compiled is complicated by their primary responsibilities. I can’t really fault anyone here, but by the same token, the lack of that information is a major blind spot for the modelers.

Who knows, maybe some of the key hotspots have some smart folks who recognize the importance of the timing aspect of the data. Not to diminish the rest of the country, but seeing trends in NYC and Detroit based on well collected data could be what we need to really get the understanding we need to determine trajectory.

My friend who is the COO of an urgent care group has the Abbott machines that returns results in 5 minutes in their clinics. I wonder how much data those things are collecting. You’d have to hope that they included data capture in the systems, but who knows. I’ll ask him next time we talk.

WE ARE FEEDING AMERICA
Roadrunner® Food Bank of New Mexico is part of a national network of 200 plus food banks across the United States called Feeding America. This national membership allows us bring resources to New Mexico that help our hungry neighbors. These resources come in the form of access to funding, food donated by national food companies, best practices, and much more. In fact, when you see the Feeding America brand here in New Mexico, the funds raised come back to benefit the food bank.

It seems you are not aware of what you're quoting.
All you had to do was click through to her Twitter profile to see the snippet of the article quoted here:

Migoya and executives at other beleaguered systems are blasting the government’s decision to take a one-size-fits-all approach to distributing the first $30 billion in emergency grants. HHS confirmed Friday it would give hospitals and doctors money according to their historical share of revenue from the Medicare program for seniors — not according to their coronavirus burden.

States such as Minnesota, Nebraska and Montana, which the pandemic has touched relatively lightly, are getting more than $300,000 per reported COVID-19 case in the $30 billion, according to a Kaiser Health News analysis.

On the other hand, New York, the worst-hit state, would receive only $12,000 per case. Florida is getting $132,000 per case. KHN relied on a state breakdown provided to the House Ways and Means Committee by HHS along with COVID-19 cases tabulated by The New York Times.

moving on, please tell me what they're falsifying, not what they could.

All Jensen did was create hypothetical conspiracy porn, saying they had a frightening way to falsify it, not that they were doing so, yet that was enough for many to adopt it as a smoking gun.

I sure hope that's not all you're using to denigrate countless healthcare workers across this country.
