| Try to get a picture of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak and you'll find no shortage of sources. Third-party efforts track cases, deaths and testing, race and ethnicity data, the virus's rate of transmission in different states and more. States and localities also report data publicly on a smorgasbord of online dashboards. But these sources aren't the federal government. They're hardly all in one place, and state dashboards in particular don't report in a standardized manner. More than a month into Covid-19 outbreaks that have besieged states, flooded hospitals and strained public-health infrastructure, the U.S. still lacks a complete picture of the on-the-ground reality. The reasons for that include decades of neglect of public-health infrastructure and a state-by-state approach to collecting virus data, in which 50 states find almost as many approaches to tracking metrics like Covid cases and hospitalizations. As a consequence, the country's data disaster stands out on the world stage, and government officials along with the public are left hunting for reliable information.

Yet experts worry that the U.S.'s situation won't improve either. The country could also miss out on new sources that have proven effective at capturing changes in the virus picture, like surveys that ask how a person is feeling and what symptoms they're having. Employers are starting to roll those out as a way of ensuring workers return to the office safely. But, said Meredith Matone, the scientific director of PolicyLab at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, "none of that data's going anywhere."—Emma Court |
