    Default what you can't see won't hurt you: Red States scale back reporting of new covid cases

    States Scale Back Virus Reporting Just As Cases Surge


    OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Several states scaled back their reporting of COVID-19 statistics this month just as cases across the country started to skyrocket, depriving the public of real-time information on outbreaks, cases, hospitalizations and deaths in their communities.

    The shift to weekly instead of daily reporting in Florida (big surprise), Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota marked a notable shift during a pandemic in which coronavirus dashboards have become a staple for Americans closely tracking case counts and trends to navigate a crisis that has killed more than 600,000 people in the U.S.

    In Nebraska, the state actually stopped reporting on the virus altogether for two weeks after Gov. Pete Ricketts declared an end to the official virus emergency, forcing news reporters to file public records requests or turn to national websites that track state data to learn about COVID statistics. The state backtracked two weeks later and came up with a weekly site that provides some basic numbers.

    Other governments have gone the other direction and released more information, with Washington, D.C., this week adding a dashboard on breakthrough cases to show the number of residents who contracted the virus after getting vaccines. Many states have recently gone to reporting virus numbers only on weekdays...

    If Red states experience a serious rash of covid deaths and Blue states do not,

    kindly explain how that could possibly be a bad thing?

    It is pretty safe to say, that unless you live in a spacesuit, and are a complete recluse with no normal social contact with any other human beings, THIS VIRUS or one of it's strains, is looking for you, and it will eventually find you!

    GOOD LUCK!
