In Illinois, where GOP lawmakers suing Dem gov over disaster orders, health dept said not divulging probable deaths “because there is concern from the public that the number of deaths is being inflated. . . . We need the public to have confidence in the data." — PolitiTweet.org

In Georgia, where gov pushed to open state early amid debate over covid-19 data collection, health dept tracks probables but isn't reporting numbers on website or to CDC. Health officials have tracked 1,658 probable cases and potentially dozens of probable deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Beth Reinhard @bethreinhard

That means they are not following CDC guidance, which in April advised all states to track probable cases and deaths. Limited testing, people dying at home and in overburdened nursing homes meant many covid-19 victims were overlooked. — PolitiTweet.org

Death counts in most states do *not* include probable covid-19 cases and deaths - where symptoms and exposure point to infection -- including big states like FL, CA, NY, NJ, NC -- which *did* count probable cases of H1N1 in last pandemic. https://t.co/NjXTdpFs8i — PolitiTweet.org

There's a political backdrop, w/ Trump allies claiming covid-19 death toll is inflated despite the consensus among public health experts that U.S. is undercounting cases and deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Beth Reinhard @bethreinhard

Remember when NYC started counting probable deaths, causing tally to soar? CDC says all states should be reporting probables, but <*half* are doing so, leading to inconsistent data collection and undercounts. w/ @emmersbrown @ReisThebault @bylenasun https://t.co/NjXTdpFs8i — PolitiTweet.org
