A very serious statistical error marked the balance of coronavirus in the Los Lagos Region this Friday. 174 new infections were initially reported, when in fact there were 276.
Two worrying situations were evidenced in the latest report of coronavirus cases in the Los Lagos Region.
On the one hand, that 276 the infected registered on the day will be shot, bringing the area to a position it had not been in since mid-November, although this time with 1,314 active cases.
Likewise, there are 56 mechanical ventilators available, but the beds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are barely a dozen for the entire area, which has already been a matter of concern for the competent authorities in this coordination, as the days pass and there is no significant vacancy of this critical service.
The representative of the Seremi de Salud, Marcela cardenas, called on the community to take precautionary measures to avoid falling into a sustained increase in cases that could lead to the already known restrictions.
The other worrying situation was that in much of this Friday morning, Seremi de Salud itself was not clear about how many new cases there were, reporting 174 when in reality 102 more than that figure were recorded.
In the audio sent by Marcela Cárdenas, she limited herself to verifying the statistical error that she described as “little“, Orienting him to the lack of information on communes that, this time, had not been delivered.
A very serious error that directly affects trust in the technical entity, whose information is supplied to the Ministry of Health so that public policy decisions can be made.
And it is that in the end, to the lack of a complete balance and a clear and reliable figure, the minimization and even the almost omission of this communicational problem is added, which 10 months after the pandemic should no longer present deficiencies of these characteristics .
