As the Covid-19 pandemic has improved in the U.S., more states are reporting data less frequently. Some epidemiologists think that’s a problem.

and nearly all key metrics dropped, states began updating their data less frequently.

According to data collected by Johns Hopkins University, half of states are no longer providing daily reports. Some have gone from reporting data every day to five days a week. At least three states have lessened that frequency to three times a week, and Florida and Alabama this week shifted to a once-a-week schedule.

Beth Blauer, executive director of the Centers for Civic Impact at Johns Hopkins, which makes data into visualizations that help policy makers and the public, said real-time data is useful in many contexts. A Covid-19 tracking dashboard created and run by Johns Hopkins early in the pandemic became the go-to resource for many researchers and news outlets looking for domestic as well as world-wide figures.

FL is one such state. DeSantis decided to stop updating DOH dashboard & is only reporting once a week to CDC. The citizens of the state have no idea what’s going on unless we look it up on CDC’s website. FL also happens to be 1 state for cases & deaths for about 6 weeks now. 😬
