My apologies. I didn't read the article posted until now, and I see it's about issues in the UK and not the US (I was confused, as we had issues with data reporting in the US as well). My comment was focused on the decentralized US public health model and not on the UK's. My apologies for injecting analysis of a different problem into this discussion. As such, my prior comment should probably be down-voted.
