ATLANTA, GA – A survey report published over the weekend cast doubt on the accuracy of coronavirus statistics published on the Georgia dashboard and in the Department of Health analysis.
The State Department of Health’s online page, which Patch uses to update COVID-19’s daily case and death count in Georgia, is largely outsourced, according to an article published Saturday through Atlanta Magazine. While this is not unusual, according to experts, outsource knowledge research and rule out the fitness branch.
“It’s the task of an epidemiologist, not only to produce a report, a biostatistics can do it, but also to perform a ‘field check’,” said Janet Hamilton of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists in Atlanta. Revista. Es is so important that you have the right epidemiologists to lead the effort and take care of seeing the work internally. “
Good luck is that the Georgia Department of Public Health blamed the dashboard disorders it may not be able to control. The revised online page was presented shortly after Gov. Brian Kemp reopened much of the state for business.
“According to the sounds of the report, epidemiologists and professionals working at the DPH had little or nothing about what happens in the daily prestige report and this is consistent with my delight in applying for the state’s COVID-19 knowledge execution group,” epidemiologist Amber Schmidtke wrote in a Sunday blog post: “All mandatory settings on the site had to go through the supervisor’s workplace and most of the advice I was aware of were rejected. “
Schmidtke praised the paintings of Georgia’s fitness professionals and suggested them to the public.
“I inspire you to read the report and then offer your solidarity and public aptitude in every possible way,” Schmidtke wrote Sunday. “Because they are the ones who will help us through the pandemic. Without your data,” your research and your interventions, we are lost. “
