Hoping against hope in Michigan.

133 new deaths shown today. I am hoping it is an adjustment for previous deaths that have just now been found to be from C19. If not we certainly haven't turned a corner. We are nearing 5,000 deaths. Dam I just feel gutted.

from checking death certificates. So the reported numbers for the week each day look like they have been lower than actual, overall. That said, we're on a downward trend for both confirmed cases and deaths, which seems as if we're headed in the right direction.
