COVID-19数据系统被交还给CDC

此前，由于疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)的数据系统被诟病太落后，美国政府决定将COVID-19数据的收集和汇报工作转移到美国卫生与公众服务部。然而如今，事情发生了反转，特朗普政府表示，很快收集COVID-19数据的责任将被移交回CDC，医院也将继续向CDC报告新病例。
在收集数据的工作转移到卫生部后，有越来越多的报道称卫生部的数据收集系统延误情况严重，数据经常不一致。除此以外，某些关键统计数据，比如COVID-19患者占用的住院床位，卫生部每周只会更新一次，而此前CDC每天或每周都会多次更新。
白宫的冠状病毒协调员Deborah Birx本周在阿肯色州告诉医院高管和政府官员，目前医院向卫生部报告新病例的制度 "仅仅是一个临时制度"，报告工作将很快回到CDC。Birx博士说，CDC正在和他们合作，建立一个革命性的新数据系统，“数据很快就可以回归CDC，他们还可以向医院进行和治疗、个人防护设备相关的定期问责”。

Trump administration says hospitals will soon report new cases to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after rocky shift to Health and Human Services drew criticism. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is reversing course on a change to the way hospitals report critical information on the coronavirus pandemic to the government, returning the responsibility for data collection to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus coordinator, told hospital executives and government officials in Arkansas this week that the current system under which hospitals report new cases is “solely an interim system” and that the reporting would soon go back to the CDC. “CDC is working with us right now to build a revolutionary new data system so it can be moved back to the CDC, and they can have that regular accountability with hospitals relevant to treatment and PPE,” Dr. Birx said.  source
