Data backlog obscures true nature of Boise area s COVID-19 outbreak; 29 new deaths reported Chadd Cripe and Rachel Roberts, The Idaho Statesman
Dec. 17 The data dashboard for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare shows Ada County s COVID-19 incidence rate as one of the best in the state.
The daily number of new cases reported shows a raging outbreak.
The problem is that Central District Health has been inundated with so many cases that it s nearly two weeks and more than 2,500 case reports behind in its data tracking.
That means many of the 325 new confirmed cases reported Wednesday in Ada County were actually from early December. They are added to IDHW s data on the day they were originally reported to public health, so they don t hit the chart showing the county s cases per day per 100,000 people over the last seven days.
