Journalists are wondering if it has become pointless to try to count the infected Author: Jutarnji.hrPosted: July 20, 2020 11:54 pm Hospital in Belgrade Hospital in Belgrade Oliver Bunic / AFP Facebook Twitter Messenger E-mail RELATED NEWS 8238499 COVID-19 IN THE REGION In the last 24 hours in Serbia, nine new coronavirus victims, the number of newly infected is 389 GOT AN INDEX Serbia is shooting at the seams because of the crown, Vučić decided to realize his boyhood dreams: He enrolled in a senior coaching school In Serbia, skepticism is growing day by day about the number of newly infected with coronavirus, which is published by the national crisis headquarters at 3 pm every day. Nova.rs journalists made an effort and summed up the number of new cases in the past 24 hours based on the announcements of local public health institutes and crisis headquarters. They say they have realized that it has become impossible to come up with a reliable result, but also that it is even less likely that the figure will match the ‘summary’ data published by the National Crisis Staff. For example, on Monday, the 'supreme' headquarters, headed by Prime Minister Ana Brnabic , announced that 359 new cases had been confirmed in Serbia in the last 24 hours, while journalists had reached an incredible 791 confirmed cases by simply summing up official local reports. Serbian Health Minister Zlatibor Loncar thinks there is a logical explanation. - There are various cases. Some are considered positive because they have not yet received the results of the PCR test, some will only be tested by this method in order to be admitted to the hospital, and there are those who are not tested in three places and appear three times on the results, said Lončar. He stated that the numbers are less important, and that patients are a priority. Considering the number reached by the journalists of Nova.rs , it seems that many patients went for three tests, as Minister Lončar claims. Namely, from a dozen sources that include Serbian cities and districts, they reached 791 newly infected, and to make matters worse, journalists failed to 'dig out' official data on new cases in Belgrade, Nis, Vranje and Leskovac, where there are only data on the number of hospitalized person. They wonder if it has become pointless to try to count the infected and on what basis epidemiologists work when data on the number of infected arrive 'in places' and how which laboratory manages to process the tests.
