Name: Brian Krans Healthline

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b0tn@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 14 July

Query:

Hello.

This story if for Healthline.com. For answers to be considered
for the story, they need to be received by EOD Tuesday, July
14th.

I'm seeking medical experts who are good at numbers and
understand how numbers around the coronavirus are being kept.

I'm taking a look at COVID-19 numbers, including how the average
people should look at them. For example, the myth that more
testing means more cases is constantly used and is very
misleading. If we were really in good shape, the percentage of
positives would be going down the more we tested, not up.

I'm trying to get answers regarding the number of cases, deaths,
percentage of positives, hospitalizations, ICU beds, etc., and
break each of these down in a simple straightforward way that
details why these numbers matter and how they can paint a
clearer picture about the seriousness of the situation in a
specific area.

Thank you for your time.

Requirements:

Work in the healthcare industry, hopefully with statistics.
