#covid data

I believe that everyone should have access to information about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Many governments and public health officials are closing down the sharing of data, but there are still excellent independent sources. Here are some recommendations.

so, I’ve mentioned that my current job is entering COVID test data from lab reports. and like, I knew how big this was before, but this has given me a whole new perspective on the scale of this thing. 

I work 15 hours a week, probably process about 10 individual reports an hour. so that’s about 150 reports a week. and I’d say about 90% of those are positive tests. so that’s....

brain can’t math, pulls out calculator 

...about 135 positive tests a week. 

now keep in mind, I’m entering all their information, name, age, address, race, gender, etc. and by the time you’ve spent about five minutes on that, it gives you a really good sense of the fact that this is an individual, a person who just got diagnosed with a potentially deadly disease. and I do this about 135 times a week. 

and that’s just me, working on the lower edge of part-time. they have a whole office of people doing 8+ hour days of that exact.same.thing. literally just spending 40+ hours a week entering individual COVID tests, a large percentage of which are probably positive based on my experience with what kinds of records come in. you can do the math...or if you’re like me, you can get a basic idea of the math and stop there. 

and that is just one office in just one state. 

so yeah. 

new health study from International Journal Of Infectious Disease tested on 40,000 individual patients health data throughout covid infections and their immune system response, with an outcome conclusion that a covid infection can cause up to 20 months of immune system dysregulation.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially lost the fight to limit COVID data on Monday and will now be forced to release the data to the public
