Coronavirus has swept through the United States and many schools had been shut down. Even when a pandemic like this is happening there are still many people who have been infected due to lack of testing. For example, to have an official count of coronavirus, they will have to test every one first. However, data shows that the cases in the United States are probably being undercounted rather than overcounted. There are three reasons why that has happened.
primarily, In “How are COVID-19 deaths counted?” by Stephanie Pappas stats that. “Death certificates can be signed by a physician who was responsible for a patient who died in a hospital, which accounts for many COVID-19 deaths.” This means that the counts counted a great number of people that have died, died in a hospital. Therefore it means that a lot of people have not been counted because that did not get identified. Same with getting the vires.
following, the next reason that this has happened was that “Contributing factors such as heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure would then be listed further down. This has led to some confusion by people arguing that the “real” cause of death was heart disease or diabetes, Aiken said, but that’s not the case.” says Stephanie Pappas. And this causes people to not count some of the cases that they knew. It also makes people believe that COVID-19 is not that dangerous.
The last reason that the counts for COVID-19 were undercounted was that the leader of a state or country sometimes does not tell the real count. The reason for that is so they will not make their country look bad. In my opinion, that was not a smart house because people need to have a consequential number, in this case, to get alerted. And understand how dangerous COVID-19 really is.
To draw things to a close, the numbers of COVID-19 counts need to be accurate to keep people alerted, so they can keep themselves safe.
