Epidemiology expert: COVID-19 final verification sites will make it harder to interpret data

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Although the positivity rate of Miami-Dade coronavirus has declined in recent days, it is still above what it deserves to be. A doctor thinks the network has a long way to go to get back together.

“We have a lot of COVID-19 in the community,” said Dr. Mary Jo Trepka, Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at Florida International University.

She spoke to CBS4’s Ty Russell on Monday about the most recent figures. The teacher said there were still paintings to be done and that she made sure that other people were examined.

“The number of s will be low because the sites have been closed,” the professor said.

Heads of state have recently recorded fewer COVID-19 controls. Many verification sites have been closed due to the threat of isaias. The state said it is still running to reopen all of its sites.

However, closures, others can move to the county fitness facility for testing.

The CRF teacher said the number of other people taking the tests could decrease in the coming days. This means that knowledge will be difficult.

“It will be difficult to interpret what it is for at least a week, because the verification sites have been shut down,” he said.

What we do know is that the average percentage rate for two weeks is 17%.

“The percentage is very, very high,” the doctor told Russell about Zoom.

Even with less than the average number of COVID tests on Saturdays and Sundays, the positive percentage remained above 10% on either day. Leaders need it underneath that. The World Health Organization and doctors must see it at 5% or less to ease restrictions.

Right now, doctors and nurses are still looking to make room for the sick.

“Hospitals are much better than they were a week ago,” the doctor said.

Miami-Dade data show that numbers have remained in only 2,000 patients in the hospital per day since Friday.

As of Monday, there were still more than 500 people in the county’s intensive care unit and more than three hundred of them were on fans.

“There are a lot of serious people,” she says.

Your doctor’s request is to make you make your component to decrease spread.

“There are many dangers out there. People wear a mask at all times when they are in contact with other people outdoors in their homes,” he said.

Trepka said we’d probably see a higher rate of other people wasting their war against COVID in the coming weeks.
