CMV: In the U.S. there is an active effort to avoid covid data reporting to prevent panic on how bad it is and likely will become

On Thursday, 20 states failed to update Covid data stats, on Friday 30 states failed to report covid data stats, many have statements saying reporting will resume on the 27th.  That is at once normal for the holiday season and also critically lacking the current need for info. When 30 states fail to report on 12/24/21 and we’re at 197k daily cases with an observed doubling time of 2-3 days, something is up.  Maybe they wanted us to enjoy the holiday, but any effort to suppress Omicron information at this time can cost lives.

You admitting that it’s a normal for reporting to slow down during holidays undermines your argument that they’re intentionally avoiding reporting it.

Just because you think they should be reporting it doesn’t mean their reason for not reporting it is “wanting to suppress information” or whatever.
