On Jan 6 I tweeted the CDC graph on the left, joking that somebody at the White House will change it because it looked too scary. They took my advice and flattened the curve (in the y axis).

Just one problem: 3,707 people died today, just like the graph on the left suggests. 1/

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

The US is moving to end daily #COVID19 case/death reporting.

As the US government claims that "most people are going to get COVID", there is a systematic effort to end daily reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases.

Please share this 🧵

On Jan 6, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will no longer require hospitals to report the daily number COVID-19 deaths to the HHS starting Feb 2. A viral tweet by this author reporting this action prompted mass anger.

2/
. @DataDrivenMD , who originally broke the story reported in the tweet above, called the HHS dataset that was being ended "*the only* source of real-time death counts for every U.S. hospital."

. @BusinessInsider @kelseyvlamis I have just seen you have amended this article.

The article states that my assertion about HHS ending daily reporting "is true."

Yet it still claims "US Government to end daily COVID death reporting" is misleading.

"Daily reporting" means reporting every day.

If you hire someone to cut your grass "daily," but they do it once a week and say they still cut all the grass, you have grounds to sue them.

In the lawsuit, you would say you did not receive "daily" lawn mowing.

2/
HHS death reporting is daily. It is being ended.

Reporting to the CDC via states is NOT 7 days/wk in most states, and hence can't be described as daily.

Florida, Nebraska, and TN report once per week. Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, and Alaska report 3x

While the alarm by @DataDrivenMD at the ending of hospital COVID death reporting by the HHS prompted mass outrage, it was dismissed or ignored by much of the media.

Here, @DrWilliamKu explains why daily hospital death reporting to the HHS is critical.

1/
 wsws.org/en/articles/20…
@DataDrivenMD @DrWilliamKu "There is no substitute for timely, accurate, and standardized reporting," Ku said "This is Data Science 101.”

2/
@DataDrivenMD @DrWilliamKu Asked by the whether the data from HHS was simply duplicative of data compiled by the CDC, Ku replied, “HHS death data was more timely than CDC death data for the most recent seven days because CDC allows many states to report them late."

You are spreading a dangerous right-wing conspiracy theory during a pandemic. You are undermining the efforts of scientists and public health experts to fight #COVID19. You help Bannon/Navarro claim it is a "weaponized virus." Just stop!

In remarks reminiscent of the darkest days of the #eugenics movement, @CDCDirector said that the fact that #COVID19 predominantly kills people who are “unwell to begin with” is “encouraging.”

"The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75 percent, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities," Walensky said, "so really these are people who are unwell to begin with, and yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron."
2/
Walensky’s comments were condemned by doctors, scientists and advocates for the disabled as an embrace of eugenics by the Biden administration.
