A Texas county has dropped from 4600+ active COVID-19 cases to under 100 after an audit

A disclaimer on the Collin County, Texas website.

Following is a summary of this Infowars article:

After an overnight audit, Collin County, Texas has just dropped its reported number of official active COVID-19 cases from 4600 to only under 100.

Collin County’s “COVID-19 Dashboard” earlier this month reported over 4600 active cases of COVID-19, which was based on data provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services, and the high number prompted county officials to question the accuracy of the data, since the county’s hospitals weren’t overloaded.

A disclaimer on the county’s website now reads:

Notice: Collin County is providing COVID-19 numbers and data as a convenience to our residents, however, Department of State Health Services (DSHS) officials have acknowledged that the active case count for Collin County is significantly overstated. We advise residents that Collin County lacks confidence in the data currently being provided to us.

DSHS officials have agreed to immediately redirect resources to correct the issue, but have not provided a timeline on when their reports will be corrected.

On August 25, the DSHS data reported over 4600 active cases:

And on the next day, August 26, the reported cases were only 81:

The discrepancy of the active cases have been labeled as “recovered:”

A local newspaper “Community Impact” reported the following:

County Judge Chris Hill said he has had “significant conversations” with DSHS officials about their plans to address issues raised by commissioners. After the revision to the disclaimer was approved, Hill explained DSHS planned to set up a Collin County work group Aug. 25 that will be committed to rectifying the county’s backlog of cases.

“They’re going to be working to call everyone who’s on that list that’s currently active to determine whether or not they’re still active or whether or not they’re recovered,” he said.

Hill said the work group will be checking whether patients currently classified as active cases of COVID-19 have been symptom-free for 10 days so they can be reclassified as recovered. He also explained that if the group is unable to reach a patient after three attempts, they will be reclassified as recovered.

The “work group” is made up of 12 private contractors performing an audit of the data.

In the same report, state officials also claimed that the inaccurate numbers were due to a “backlog” that has “recently included some older cases,” which is a very questionable statement due to the numbers being overstated by 5600%, where “some older cases” does not realistically account for the difference between 81 and over 4600.

The DSHS data is what the Texas Governor Greg Abbot used when he advocated for facemark wearing, business shutdowns, and “social distancing” across the state.

An August 16th article in the El Paso Times said the following:

“Listen, there’s a reality: People have had an altered state of life for the past few months. One that requires wearing a mask. One that requires staying at home if at all possible. One that reduces your level of [activity] with others,” Abbott said. “That’s a challenge, a once in a lifetime challenge, and it’s easy to get a sense of fatigue. It’s easy to want to stop having to comply with those standards.”

As of Thursday, the Texas Department of State Health Services was reporting 513,575 coronavirus cases in Texas, with an estimated 128,526 active cases. The state reported 9,289 fatalities.
