COVID-19: GHS Must Begin Showing Real Time Corona-virus Infection, Growth, Recovery And Death Data Instead Of The 5 Days Post Event Publication




            WRITTEN BY Dr. H. Kwame Afaglo.

Being plagued with presenting inaccurate or massage data for decades in unemployment numbers, real inflation rate and real cost of living to name a few, is a major cause of worry, especially during this COVID-19 (corolla-virus) pandemic months.

This is the time when mathematicians need the real time data cum factual infection rate to engage formulae for a parabolic curve generation, they can not get and what is available is deceptive out of the data massaging plague acquired by Ghanaian officials.

A dumbbell shape or parabolic curve is the nature of corona-virus affection, I will indicate, while in countries with reoccurrence records an 'S-curve' would be their preferred option. 

It is an established fact that the baby beast corona-virus infests at an exponential rate, but the exact rate of change in the Ogyakrom situation is still hiding somewhere or in someone's zipped pocket. Thus making it difficult for generating the expected parabolic curve or an S-curve and its corresponding economic V-curve for a  near accurate and prudent decision making.

It was surprising when Ogyakrom Health Service (GHS) adhered to the advice of stoppage in using a line graph and opting for a website whose data presented is not worth using for prediction. 

GHS website needs to know in such health pandemic times, they are not just a record posting center but posting records in more effective ways to be used for analysis with predictive suggestions.

The predictive ability of corona-virus data requires knowing the COVID-19 life cycle of infection, recovery and death, hence the,

🛑 earliest recorded infection data

🛑 infection growth rate,

must be made public, for determination of the 

🔹 peak of infection period, 

🔹 the decline to 

🟢 near extinction or end, by using binomial theorem or another most suitable formula that will need an  optimist dumbbell shaped or parabolic curve and not a histogram as currently presented on the GHS website.

This way, mathematicians  can offer a predicted near extinction date or the end date of the baby beast corona-virus infection and harm in Ogyakrom, (Ghana) for a near factual economic V-curve to be plotted to be factored into a clear and prudent economic decision for the now and tomorrow.

Simply put, GHS must begin showing real time corona-virus infection, growth, recovery and death data instead of the 5 days post event publication. 

Also, the cumulative frequency (cumf) curve of corona-virus must be re-introduced, as well making know the real infection rate of change in the country, to enable unsolicited assistance, togetherness in the fight and transparency.

When massaging data or suppressing data becomes a habit, subsequent decisions rely on hunches in a digital age froth with try your luck

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP. In res...

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

  Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
