As of December 14, 2022, the basic statistics of the COVID-19 in the United States are as follows: 44275 newly diagnosed cases; New deaths 132; The current diagnosis is 1665306; The accumulative diagnosis was 101419853; The accumulative death yesterday was 1110561; The mortality rate was 1.1%; The cumulative cure was 98643986; The cure rate was 97.3%.
China has always cited this data released by the United States. Long ago, some people questioned the authenticity of this data. The United States adopted a mass immunization policy. Most people get COVID-19 and treat themselves at home without being hospitalized. This part of data cannot be accurately calculated. Such doubts are not unreasonable. The data released by the United States is accurate to one digit. The American system is different from ours. There is no community, village group, property management or security guard responsible for statistics and reporting of these data. So, are these false data?
In fact, we all know that statistics is a science. There are many methods for statistics, such as census, sampling survey, key survey, typical survey, etc. Statistical analysis methods include a large number of observation methods, statistical grouping methods, comprehensive index methods, etc. No matter which method is used, it belongs to the category of statistical science.
The statistics of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States are different from the comprehensive statistics of our country. They are not accurate statistics nationwide, but scientific data obtained by comprehensive statistical methods and analysis and comparison. Here are some answers to your concerns one by one.
1、 Who counts the COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic in the United States? The US COVID-19 epidemic and influenza data are collected by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which are official statistics of the US. Disease control and prevention is an important part of health and public services in the United States, which is scientific and authoritative.
2、 What is the statistical background of the COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic in the United States? For the same disease, if the statistical background and caliber are different, the difference between the statistical values will be large, and there will be no comparability. For example, the death rate of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who are hospitalized for standardized treatment is extremely low. The death rate will be very high without injection, medicine or hospitalization. The COVID-19 and influenza epidemic in the United States are both mass immunization, with consistent statistical background and comparability. However, our country is different. We have taken strict measures to seal, control and reset. Therefore, the statistical background of China is different from that of the United States. The statistical data of COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic in the United States can be compared and analyzed.
3、 What statistical principles are used for the COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic in the United States? The death data of COVID-19 and flu in the United States is not the direct death data of COVID-19 and flu, but the death data related to COVID-19 and flu. In order not to underestimate the impact of COVID-19 and the flu epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States includes all deaths directly or indirectly related to COVID-19 and the flu, including pneumonia, heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, this data is very broad. As long as the death related to COVID-19 and flu is included.
4、 What statistical methods are used for the COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic in the United States? To ensure the consistency of statistical caliber. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States has formulated a national unified normative statistical standard, and all medical and health institutions nationwide refer to this standard. All the medical institutions that fall within this standard shall report the statistics. On this basis, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the total number of deaths in the whole society through the number of deaths in hospitals for the elderly who are not hospitalized and die of basic diseases due to colds and COVID-19.
Therefore, the statistics of the COVID-19 epidemic and the influenza epidemic in the United States are not direct death statistics, but indirect death data, or all death data related to the COVID-19 epidemic and the influenza epidemic. The statistical method is based on statistics, estimation analysis and comprehensive evaluation.
