On Aug. 9, 2021, U.S. had 231,269 new covid cases ...

[aggiesal]

Last date U.S. had this many new covid cases in 1 day was on Jan. 14, 2021
The highest single day new covid cases total was on Jan. 8,2021 with 300,777
This is only about 69,500 more than Aug. 9, 2021, so we are fast approaching the record high.

The 7 day average is 123,923
Last time the 7 day average was this high was on Feb. 5, 20201

This is all the AntiVax (similar to Antifa) spike.

Stay safe everyone.

The primary data published here are the daily cumulative number of cases and deaths
reported in each county and state across the U.S. since the beginning of the pandemic.

6. There's No Way The New Cases Were 230,000 In A Single Day

We're still 1-2 weeks away from that.

9. Download the numbers yourself from the second link I attached ...

I reviewed and still got that number.

Still averaging 123,000+ over last 7 days.

5. and this is just what is REPORTED

the real stats are way higher

[dweller]

7. This looks like a two day total

and I can’t find figures to back up either of us



✌🏻

[aggiesal]

10. I prefer the 7 day average anyway, ...

but if you download the NY Times GitHub link I provided, you'll see where I got that figure.p

[dweller]

11. I did

And I don’t see the trail that leads to the facts
It’s just 2 purported numbers from one day to the next
No other sites show those results

14. MSNBC reported today that ...

Aug. 9, 2021 had 206,936 new cases.

Not far from the number I posted.

[aggiesal]

15. uscovid19tracker.com reported today that ...

Aug. 9, 2021 had 235,099 new cases.

Really close to the number I posted.

[aggiesal]

16. GitHub numbers for 8/9 have been modified today ...

so that the daily new cases for 8/9 is 178,466.

[dweller]

17. And numbers for 8/10

159,187

I got that, the numbers are far fewer than 200k+ …

You can stop pointing them out to me now

18. No problem! Have a good night. n/t

8. All this because..

There are people that don't wear masks, practist Social Distancing and don't get Vaccinated.

[nitpicker]

12. It's because some states quit reporting on the weekends

I think it's because many testing-reading labs, and coroners, don't work on the weekends unless they have to.

Thus the catch-up reporting on Monday for cases, Tuesday-Wednesday for death reports, etc.

Using JHU data, from 0600 to 0600 today, I got 184192 more reported cases and 492 deaths.

Let's see what early tomorrow and the following morning show.

[aggiesal]

13. It appears that may be the case ...

that's why I prefer the 7 day average, which is still pretty high.
