About time the ministry of health reported honest and transparent covid stats.... - C_T_Russell - 20-07-2022
Quite a no-brainer really, I have been saying this the whole time, doesnt take an expert to figure this out.
Who are these clowns running the show?
While they are at it, they need to report the number of admissions to hospital related to covid, and not just those that turn up and test positive.
The Ministry of Health is changing the way Covid-19 deaths are reported, with the new measure being deaths from Covid-19 that can be wholly or partially attributed to the virus.

Perhaps they have taken no notice of you, because they have people with knowledge and experience, rather than "self educated" from watching a few idiots on line?

I'm not sure how honesty and transparency factors into it? I don't think they have ever hidden the criteria they used for reporting, correct me if i'm wrong here. Obviously "they" felt the need to modify the criteria - so you should now be happy, right?

That isn't a new measure. It is the WHO standard, primarily so they could track spread.

"transparency" is quoted as an important factor here.
"However, a marketing expert says the more transparent reporting system could boost compliance in measures employed to fight transmission, measures considered crucial with six weeks still left of winter."
