Question: Why are some states getting more cases than others?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Basics
Why do some state’s COVID-19 case numbers sometimes differ from what is posted on CDC’s website?
section_content: CDC’s overall case numbers are validated through a confirmation process with
jurisdictions. The process used for finding and confirming cases displayed by
different places may differ.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer allows that different "jurisdictions" have different ways of reporting things but does not even provide a link regarding how reporting is done by different states or any other kind of information.
the response is supposed to highlight the reason certain states may be recording increase in munber of cases e.g population, flaunting of the lock-down orders, etc

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Basics
Why do the number of cases for previous days increase?
section_content: Delays in reporting can cause the number of COVID-19 cases reported on
previous days to increase. (Sometimes this effect is described as “backfill.”)
State, local, and territorial health departments report the number of cases
that have been confirmed and share these data with CDC. Since it takes time to
conduct laboratory testing, cases from a previous day may be added to the
daily counts a few days late.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer details how states' reporting might cause fluctuations in case numbers but does not address how different states have overall more caseloads regardless of how they report the data or how often. Answer does not address that certain states are or are not following various phases of lock-down that would affect state by state case loads.
this does still not address the question why the rise in number of cases in some states.

Question: How can inmates lower their chance of getting COVID?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: FAQs for Correctional and Detention Facilities
section_headers: Family Members of People Who Are Incarcerated at Correctional and Detention Facilities
Do people who are incarcerated have a greater chance of getting COVID-19?
section_content: People in correctional and detention facilities are at greater risk for
illnesses, such as COVID-19 because of their close living arrangements with
other people. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person,
through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or
sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are
nearby or be launched into the air and inhaled into someone’s lungs. It is
possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that
has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes; however,
this is not the most likely way the virus spreads.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

If there is spread of COVID-19 in the community close to the facility, you

What cleaning products should I use to protect against COVID-19?
section_content: Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as tables, doorknobs,
light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,
faucets, and sinks. If surfaces are dirty, clean them using detergent or soap
and water prior to disinfection. To disinfect, most common EPA-registered
household disinfectants will work. See CDC’s recommendations for household
cleaning and disinfection.

it from a person with or suspected to have COVID-19, the surface should be
cleaned and disinfected. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.

Question: Is it a good idea to have visitors during this time?

Answer passage (source: CDC):

section_content: Anyone who has had flu-like symptoms in the last 24 hours or has been in

should not visit a correctional or detention facility. All visitors will be
screened for symptoms and contact with someone with COVID-19. Staff will also

Administrators should work closely with their local health officials to
determine if a short-term closure (for 2-5 days) of all campus buildings and
facilities is needed. In some cases, you may only need to close buildings and
facilities that had been entered by the individual(s) with COVID-19. This

infection. Because many people who are homeless are older adults or have
underlying medical conditions, they may also be at higher risk for severe disease than

Why is CDC requiring that cruise officials sign a legal attestation?
section_content: Requiring a signed attestation helps ensure that the information provided by
cruise officials as a condition of disembarking or transferring crew is
truthful and accurate. By signing the legal attestation documents, cruise line
officials certify that the information they provided to CDC is truthful and
accurate. If the information is not truthful and accurate, these officials are
subject to the criminal penalty provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. It is common
to ask corporate officials in other settings to certify that statements made
to the U.S. Government on behalf of the corporate entity are true and correct,
such as in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing or when seeking
payment reimbursement under Medicare.
