For my hospital system I was the person that fed data into the national HHS system that tracked numbers of cases, deaths, and many other data points (I would often use gallows humor and say to others I counted dead people as a way to cope with it all - it wasn't a joke though). At the peak, it was a daily task and the requirements changed frequently. There were thousands of us across the nation. 1/4

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes Over time the system stabilized and I could automate the process, handing it over to others. My automated stats still run daily, even today. We also relied heavily on state and national stats as a way to compare our local numbers to get a sense of what was coming in the weeks ahead and I sorely miss having those resources. 2/4
