摘要

As librarians and information professionals, we tend to meet most statements and proclamations with a healthy sense of skepticism and a question: "Where's the data?" We know not to take information at face value and to make sure that sources and methodologies are sound. However, just as it has with pretty much every other aspect of life, COVID-19 turned information verification and evaluation on its ear. As a May 19 New York Times article warned, "Air Travel Surges by 123%! (Beware of Misleading Data Like That)." Typically, looking at a percent change is a reliable guide to the economy. But if an economy is completely shut down, all bets are off-because as it reopens, we are starting from scratch. Similarly, we have never had previous COVID-19 infections, so the percent change comparisons are based on a very small time period (late winter/early spring 2020) and involve numbers regarding something unique. For example, a headline stating a percent change in COVID-19 deaths can be misleading, as some states' current reports include presumed deaths from the past. On June 25, New Jersey reported a 14% rise in deaths, but this was after state officials went back and reviewed death certificate dates from late winter ("New Jersey's Covid-19 Death Toll Rises 14% When Probable Fatalities Added").
