Provided information: National and state numbers of new and total tests, negative results, positive results, new and total numbers of recovered, hospitalization, deaths individuals
Rationale for choice
Provides the most current, comprehensive and easy to read data on Covid-19 virus impact

Accessing outcome data
https://covidtracking.com/data
Evaluating outcome data
Compares positive tests and hospitalizations between states and nationally. Shows increase in positive virus tests and hospitalizations in states where preventative guidelines, including social distancing and mask wearing are not being adhered to, and virus is subsequently being spread.

Strategy 2: increase Covid-19 antigen testing
How is risk reduced: knowing individuals infection status through testing for the virus and testing past exposure to the virus can illuminate if an individual is infected and contagious or may have some degree of immunity from exposure.
How outcomes are improved:
This will determine subsequent behavior and patient care. Quarantine, tailored treatment and identification of others who were potentially exposed versus continuation of normal activity in virus negative or recovered individuals..
How does this enhance the accessibility to care: By understanding virus related data trends, health resources such as staff, medication, and equipment can be mobilized in anticipation of patient numbers to provide accessible and optimal care. ]]> 2020-07-21 01:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/margarett7/epcvvpvw6n61ex3v/wish/658838476 Identify the issue margarett7 https://padlet.com/margarett7/epcvvpvw6n61ex3v/wish/658840567 Covid-19 is a highly contagious viral disease with the potential of causing serious illness and death.
