Authorities can attribute dates to less than 11% of all cases.
Lyndsey Rosales, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, confirmed to Just the News this week that the state lacks dating information for the vast majority of cases it posts.
"DSHS reports cases on our dashboard as local health departments and our public health regions report them," Rosales said. "We don’t attribute them to the date to when a person received a confirmed COVID-19 test result or developed symptoms."
Asked if illness-onset or confirmed-test metrics existed at any level of the data collection process, Rosales suggested that, even at the county level, those data are sparsely recorded.
"Some local health departments like Harris and Houston do track cases by date of onset, but not all Texas counties do," she said. "That information is collected on the case report form."
"However," she added, "DSHS has very limited data about this — only for less than 24K of the 210K cases in Texas, because the majority of the case investigations have not been completed and submitted."
Those figures mean health officials in Texas are only able to attribute illness-onset dates to about 10% of all COVID-19 cases in the state, a critical flaw in the state's ability to properly assess the virus's progression several months after the pandemic's outset.

So the governor is getting numbers of antibody tests and fresh active numbers, together, and if a county plops all the cases it’s collected in a month on a single day to the state, it looks like armageddon.
Idiot governor makes counties with 20 “cases” all wear masks when on their own lawns.

States and counties have reassigned government employees to be contact tracers. In reality they are working the phones 16 hours a day as carefully hidden Biden campaign workers. Contact tracing is their cover story. The one person I know had to sign a secrecy agreement or be laid off.
They’re discussing medical information with identifiable people — maybe the nondisclosure relates to HIPAA regulations.
