Listen "The Controversy Around COVID-19 Hospital Data"
Episode Synopsis
Data are so more than just a bunch of numbers, especially when it's the data hospitals are reporting about COVID-19. Earlier this month, the Trump Administration made a sudden change to the way that information is shared. The process bypasses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, raising concern among some public health officials. NPR's Pien Huang explains the recent controversy, and why the way COVID-19 hospital data are reported is such a big deal.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
