What happens when data on the COVID-19 pandemic goes missing? – WBEZ (Chicago)

Earlier this year, the Illinois Department of Public Health stopped publishing data on COVID-19 outbreaks by school and potential COVID-19 exposures. In addition, the Office of the Cook County Medical Examiner no longer publishes detailed information about most COVID-19-related deaths. These were datasets that parents, residents, advocates and journalists relied on to track the pandemic. Their disappearance has made it harder for the public to understand COVID-19’s risk and its impact in their communities and schools.

Does anyone smell a stinking coverup here? The data to support dozens of JB’s Emergency Executive Orders, the CPS’s unnecessary shutdowns, and the Chicago Teachers Union extended paid vacations (commonly known as ‘safety precautions’) is all lost or unavailable. Geez! I wonder how that happened.
