    Nashville Officials Withheld COVID Numbers for Restaurants and Bars Over HIPAA Law -

    Nashville Officials Withheld COVID Numbers for Restaurants and Bars Over HIPAA Law Concerns, Mayor's Office Says.....


    Nashville officials were briefly reluctant to release the low number of COVID-19 cases deriving from bars and restaurants in the city, according to emails between the Metro Health Department and Mayor John Cooper's office.


    The emails between the two offices were erroneously reported by Fox 17 News in a now-retracted story and broadcast in a segment Wednesday night. Newsweek picked up the story on Thursday morning, but that afternoon the mayor's press secretary Chris Song released a statement saying that the TV station's report was aired with "limited information and without context."


    Fox 17 News originally reported that, on June 30, contact tracing conducted by the MHD found construction sites and nursing homes were the cause of most Nashville coronavirus cases. Both categories had over 1,000 cases tied to each of them. At that time, only 22 cases were traced back to bars and restaurants.



    Rau asked: "The figure you gave of 'more than 80' does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn't that mean restaurants and bars aren't a very big problem?"



    As a result, Metro Health Department Official Brian Todd asked five other health officials via email for guidance. "Please advise how you recommend I respond," he wrote......snip~

    Third thread on this, but keep them coming. The mainstream "media" doesn't seem to care about this story.

    If they did not report low numbers because of HIPAA Law Concerns how can they report High numbers without those same concerns
