The worldometer stats have some problems. For several weeks they show Suffolk County NY with more positives than the five boros, Nassau and Westchester counties combined. Except the Suffolk DoH has listed far fewer positives as has the NYSDoH. Today Wmeter showed 240 positives. Suffolk County...27. Anecdotal? Sure, but it puts the accuracy of the site into a little bit of doubt.
Worldometer aggressively pulls their stats directly from local sources wherever possible and as quickly as possible. That does lead to some temporary anomalies in the reporting data. However, if you take CDC’s data, that’s incomplete for up to 3 or 4 months because they wait for each reporting jurisdiction to send their data along. So there’s trade-offs to each approach. The good news is that over the long term, the data generally matches up between the authoritative sources. It’s just that they’re out of sync for a period.
