The curve of
coronavirus
cases
grows, without a doubt, but
not as abruptly
as the last daily part of this Tuesday showed, when more than 20 thousand cases of coronavirus were reported.
It is something that always happens:
the delay in loading
.
The Government did not give an explanation in this regard on the particular difference of the last 24 hours, but it would be linked to the delay in loading during the long weekend of Easter.
Specifically, of the 20,870 cases reported by the Government,
only 7,592 have a reporting date of Tuesday, April 6
.
The rest correspond to previous days, but they were loaded just yesterday.
Therefore the Government incorporated them in its daily part, as usual.
The
difference between the reported curve and the actual curve
has a distance that varies depending on how quickly the country's healthcare operators upload new positive coronavirus cases to the SISA.
As there had been several holidays, that load would have slowed down.
Continuing with the data backwards, it can be seen that while 13,667 cases were reported on Monday, the real number of infections reported as of April 5 was 15,333.
That is where you can see that
part of the information deficit on Monday
was settled on Tuesday.
One day back: Sunday, April 4.
That day the Government reported 9,955 cases, while those that actually had a reporting date were 6,768.
On Saturday the report reported 10,384 infections, but the number of real cases was 10,820.
As you can see,
sometimes these variations are broader and others less.
On April 2, there were 9,187 real cases, while the reported was 9,902.
And on April 1, the difference was 11,379 reais against 14,430 reported.
On March 31, there were 14,886 cases reported on that date, while those reported that day were 16,056.
The day before, there were 14,689 cases and the daily report reported 10,150.
A constant in time
The examples could go on and you will always find these differences on the timeline.
At some point a load deficit arises, which is completed later.
The important thing is the
psychological impact
produced by a figure of more than 20 thousand cases like the one reported this Tuesday.
This does not deny that the curve is clearly growing, but its increase from one day to the next is not how it is presented, but rather that it rises
more gradually
.
The cases are there, the final count is the same: a total of 2,428,029 total cases, but their "dosage" over time is different.
The impact of the figures that are published every day
is directly related to the restrictions
that the Government is trying to agree on to try to reduce the number of infections.
What must be taken into account is that the increase in cases between Monday and Tuesday was not 52 percent, as reported, but actually, according to the Ministry of Health's own official data, there were fewer registered infections than the yesterday.
The difference was settled with the loading delay of previous days.
