The CDC could publish a single, authoritative dataset, accompanied by spreadsheet-like UI's, sensible and informative charts, with useful filtering. I would think that would be part of their mandate, to inform the public.
- thephyber 6y agoThe CDC already does it.[1] It's probably worth a discussion about why we weren't all exposed to it. Interesting related note: the CDC was pretty inventive with their marketing back in ~2011 when they created a Zombie Preparedness[2] campaign.

- mistermann 6y agoThose are just a few graphics, I'm wanting comprehensive and reasonably trustworthy data, and a variety of useful visualizations of the data. It's surreal to see the sophistication of this sort of thing that exists in private industry, compared to the dearth of comparable platforms in the government sector, which we're told is populated by highly skilled experts who should be listened to. The sales pitch certainly seems to have worked like a charm, but how completely escapes me.
