Generally the US health statistics are less reliable because all 50 states collect data and report it in different ways. Most of the data comes from county health departments which vary greatly in reliability. It is even worse for covid because the outbreaks are regional and spread over weeks which distorts the reporting.

The article I posted reflects the confusion in making public health decisions from US data. It also shows the difficulty in making personal health decisions based on the very incomplete data and inconsistent advice given by the CDC.

A good example is the recent CDC advice which allows healthcare workers who have contracted covid to return to work immediately in a crisis situation at their health care institution.

Unfortunately health care staffing is frequently at a crisis level which means the nurse doctor or staff person taking care of you or your family could have active,contagious Covid.

The best covid statistics in my experience are from Israel and the United Kingdom.
