Imgrund’s tweets toward others became too aggressive, one Star reporter who had previously used Imgrund’s data told me in an interview recently. The Star began using his data in June 2020, as COVID was raging worldwide. One of the Star reporters who used Imgrund’s data says he was very helpful at the time, in large part due to difficulties getting COVID data from traditional sources like the provincial Ministry of Health. Imgrund calculated risk percentages using numbers that included COVID case data released from the city of Toronto by postal code. The reporter I spoke to at the Star said overall, Imgrund’s data was sound.
