I don’t know why I get peeved at this, but I do:
Most deaths Tuesday were in New York, where 332 people were reported dead. Michigan reported 75 deaths, New Jersey reported 69 and Louisiana reported 54. Nationwide, there were more than 24,000 new confirmed cases reported Tuesday.
The new total did not include deaths from Washington, where officials are working to fix a glitch in the health department’s system for tracking the outbreak. The state, one of the country’s early epicenters, has been unable to provide updates on its figures since Saturday. [WaPo]
Is this a problem with a human process? If so, then no peeve. But it sounds to me like a bug in a software program. Software engineers, programmers, IT people, techies – these are not officials. They are, for want of a better word, techs.
Not officials. Stop that, WaPo. And everyone else.
