(11,830 posts)1. I thought
the news has been saying 40,000 for the US and not evening mentioning Brazil.

This is even worse than what they are reporting.

Worst day every. 7 day rolling average is above 36,000.

(34,059 posts)4. They did a bid data readjustment on worldometers -
The number of new cases from mid-March to present were each adjusted by between 1 and 250 new cases.
Depending on where the news gets their data from, comparing unadjusted prior day's numbers to today's numbers or vice versa might explain the difference.
The 47,341 is accurate (once I replicated the data adjustment to prior days)

The media should be more accurate.
