PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Numbers surrounding cases of COVID-19 can be confusing.
If you have questions about COVID-19, you should not hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist, but where do they get their facts?
Social media is, at best, unreliable. Some of the most reliable data can be found on university-based websites.
If you dig deeper into these sites, you can find critical numbers, such as the number of doses of vaccine per 100,000 population across the country and the world, or the incidence per 100,000 people.
The best advice is to avoid sites linked to advertising or with secondary gain. Remember, the best numbers are unbiased, allowing you to draw your own conclusions.
