High COVID death numbers today...

[blitzen]

Most of the states that have reported so far have recorded at least double (triple or more in some cases) yesterday's number.

3. I expect the numbers are playing catch up for the holiday hiatus.

5. Data manipulation. n/t

7. Or part of a completely predictable pattern based upon

who works when and how bureaucracies report things.

It requires looking at no less than 8 days' worth of data, remembering the general contour, and thinking one's way towards understanding the data.

And it is "data manipulation" in the sense that all data are manipulated in their measuring, recording, and compilation. Unmanipulated data just sort of disperse throughout the universe in a very unkempt, chaotic manner.

8. Not hitting 100,000 dead on Memorial Day had nothing to do with it then? K. n/t

6. I think all the Memorial Day nonsense will catch us up soon.

A few weeks or less. I'm still horrified by what I saw.

9. And I'm a bit nervous.

Two young folks stopped by our house, not physically distanced enough from us because they had to show us their engagement ring. Come to find out they had been at a beach overrun with thousands of people.

10. We wont see that until a month from now. All the states that opened in some way May 1 have gone

... up in infections and in hospitalizations.

It aint lookin good so far
