e.g. experts estimate that only ~10% of coronavirus *infections* have become detected *cases* in the US. So accounting for how well we're doing at detection (e.g. test volume) is very important. Deaths are also significantly underreported, more so in some contexts than others. — PolitiTweet.org

1. I think there's not nearly enough recognition in the media that the data we have on coronavirus is highly imperfect and this sometimes leads to misleading conclusions. — PolitiTweet.org

There are a lot of other quirks in reporting. The data is proceeded by humans; it doesn't appear automatically. Lags are unavoidable, but some data series are more lagging than others. Many places have "lumpy" data, i.e. they report data in batches rather than in a steady flow. — PolitiTweet.org
