Determining success
To determine the success of both health care models in the management of breast cancer
during the SARS-CoV-2, the comparison between the percentage of cases at the maximum
number of cases between 2020 and 2021, number of virus spikes, and the percentage decrease
in the number of mammograms conducted before and during the pandemic.
The maximum number of SARS-CoV-2 cases in one day over the total population was
calculated as it most accurately demonstrates the highest number of severe cases.
Furthermore, the number of spikes indicate the frequency whereby health services were
overwhelmed.
Through the data presented previously in figure 2,4, 5 and figure 7, a data table can be
constructed to most effectively convey the data at hand.
