COVID-19 By the Numbers

Total USA Deaths Source JHU

Just because a number is assigned to a thing does not mean that it is a perfect, accurate or durable representation of that thing.

The COVID-19 Data from John Hopkins University CSSE is the best information available on COVID-19 statistics at any given moment in time. In an effort to present data with the highest integrity possible the figures are revised as new information becomes available. A good example is the reporting on the USA crossing the threshold of 1,000,000 COVID-19 deaths. The date when we passed this grim milestone was widely reported in the media as May 17, 2022. As of Friday August 19, 2022, We (COVID-19 Impact Project) also reported this date at the “accurate” date. However as I prepare this BLOG 3 days later, I went back to look at the figures and the date when the USA crossed this threshold is now reported as May 9, 2022 and the figure on that date is 1,000,203 vs 1,000,189 on May 17.
