Suddenly crown numbers in the UK skyrocketed over the weekend. Previously there were around 7,000 people infected per day, almost 36,000 cases were added on Saturday and Sunday.
It was her? The second wave? Should the second lock come now? Nothing! The reason for the explosion: a technical fault. The numbers of the newly infected are entered into an Excel table. But now the maximum number of columns has been reached. The result: almost 16,000 sick people fell under the table. They were no longer included in the list.
So the official figures had to be corrected. And so the missing infected were simply added to the current ones. Meanwhile, the Excel bug was fixed, the British government said. Another episode of the British Breakdown series.
In the summer it became known that the Ministry of Health had bought 50 million protective masks, but they could not be used in hospitals because they were not tight enough. The government paid the equivalent of more than 180 million francs. Then followed the next bankruptcy. More than 700,000 crown tests had to be withdrawn. They had flaws.
The BAG turned an old woman into a nine-year-old girl
Incorrect numbers, confusion with the authorities? It is not only Britain that has to grapple with these problems. The Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) also made mistakes. For example, at the end of April. At that time, a girl (9) appeared in the crown death statistics.
Flop BAG by fax: Dead of 9 years he was 109 years old(01:34)
The emotion was great. Did a child die of the virus for the first time in Switzerland? Not! Soon after, BAG gave the go-ahead. The nine-year-old was actually a little older, a lot older. It was a 109-year-old woman. The date of birth was accidentally set to 2011 instead of 1911.
A little later, the BAG reported the death by corona of a person under the age of 30 with no previous illness. That disturbed the population. Shortly thereafter, the canton of Bern authorities denied the report. A doctor from Bern accidentally entered a date on the line “Consequences of death” and sent it to BAG. That led to an error in the statistics. In the end, the authorities blamed each other.
Strong criticism of the BAG: “The Federal Office of Public Health is no longer credible”(09:35)
Trump sent crown checks to the dead
At first, the president of the United States, Donald Trump (74), did not take the corona virus seriously. He called the whole thing a “hoax.” Then came the U-turn and an unprecedented aid package was approved. $ 2.2 trillion. US citizens whose annual income is less than $ 100,000 should receive checks for $ 1,200.
Trump signed the aid package on March 27. The checks were sent out shortly after. And it revealed a huge data breach. Because more than a million checks were addressed to the deceased. The authorities had not agreed among themselves. The death of the taxpayers was reported to the tax office too late. And not only that: some of Trump’s checks were even sent to Austria. However, Americans who were entitled to the money and depended on it did not receive any checks.
Promised rapid tests turned into debacle in Germany
The corona virus also caused a data breach in Germany. Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (53) announced a rigorous testing policy for those returning to travel in the summer. But it quickly became clear that the test centers, which had been created in a short time, were overwhelmed.
The result: around 44,000 Germans who returned from vacation abroad waited too long for their results. Including nearly 1000 corona infected people who did not know about their disease. Days passed in which the virus was able to spread further. Chaos. Because: For the most part, the results were recorded on paper and not digitally. That has changed now. To avoid a second data failure. (hmh)
The corona virus is currently occupying the whole world and every day there are news. All current information on the subject is available on the coronavirus ticker.
