In science, you'll frequently hear someone say, "Garbage In, Garbage Out." It's a term meaning bad data, no matter how well analyzed produces poor conclusions, even when done scientifically.


Because of the failure of the CDC to compile all the data, then comparing season to season produced from their data, then we can't really do good analysis. It only gives us a glimpse or snapshot, and since they filter out some of the hospitalization or even stop counting for whatever reason, then it's infuriating from a medical research perspective.

Sometimes you have to exclude some data, because maybe you don't have verification of actual evidence that a specific strain was detected, so that's equally frustrating because some dingdong health official didn't an autopsy, or some family for religious reasons didn't allow it, or some doc didn't order the test, or whatever.
