Here are 8 problems with Covid-19 death counts:
. Eventually, the web site went viral, so to speak, mainly because there was a lack of alternatives.
Keep in mind that the graduate students in Gardner’s lab never really went out and counted the number of Covid-19 deaths directly themselves. Instead, their efforts have been in collating and organizing existing reports from different sources such as various states and jurisdictions and presenting the info on a web-based platform.
That’s because as a University, Johns Hopkins can’t tell states and other jurisdictions how they should be collecting information on Covid-19 cases and deaths. There’s only one body with the authority to do so. And it’s not Kim Kardashian. It’s the federal government that has the legal authority and the resources to keep everyone coordinated.
Asking states to coordinate themselves would be like a football coach telling a team, “OK, all of this practicing, plays, strategy, and playing in games stuff, you players handle among yourselves. I’ll handle the press conferences and lift the trophy when you are done.” Without the federal government organizing efforts, the states and other sources could be collecting information in many disparate ways.
For example, if a car accident led to a completely healthy person dying in the hospital from a complication, you wouldn’t exclude the car as the cause of death just because the car did not run over the person while he or she was inside the hospital. Similarly, if a patient caught the SARS-CoV2, developed a pneumonia and lung damage, and then suffered respiratory failure, respiratory failure may have been the immediate cause of death. But you’ve still got to list Covid-19 as a cause as well.
