1. There are way more than those numbers. People test at home and don't

Report COVID. They just recuperate at home. I know several people that have had it and not reported it to any official place

2. I see NC has dropped from #8

to #7 on worldometers … ☹️

Sucks bc NC has gone from daily to weekly reports for the last month or so …
So no way to see the spread in real time

As best I can tell, on Wednesday they report #’s, and the daily cases reported that day is 1/7 of the weeks #’s … today new cases were ~4000
So for the week was ~28,000 ?
Deaths were 3 … so 21 for the week ?

It’s bad enough we’ve dropped to #7 anyway

3. Deaths are 2-3x a year ago June-July when mandates were still in place.

Average 7-day.
In Jan-Feb of this year, 42% of deaths were breakthrough infections.
The vaccines work, but people are overloading them by not masking and by not avoiding being indoors with strangers. Everything is "back to normal" as far as they're concerned, and it's leading to people dying. Many of them really don't know any better because there is no messaging telling them otherwise.

8. Where are you seeing this?

Deaths were 250-300 the first week of June in 2021, they're 203 a day right now.

If we are seeing a ton of cases, they aren't translating to very many deaths anymore.

4. I think some / all of it is catchup from very few cases reported Monday Memorial Day

No paywall, no quota
The "Last 90 Days" button is crucially helpful.


Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day) were far far fewer cases reported then previous recent Mondays

Tuesday May 31, and Wednesday June 1 are more than the recent previous Tuesdays and Wednesdays

The 7 day average (101,551) is down a bit from where it was at its recent local peak of May 25 (110,614).

But more cases for Wednesday June 1 might yet still be reported... I've found it best to check mid-morning to see a more complete count of the previous day.

The daily new cases (not averages) are:
May 30   May 31    June 1
32,152   182,368   219,267


Edited to add -- the above is just discussing cases.

Hospitalizations and deaths are still trending higher -- they lag cases -- cases (7 day average) have approximately quadrupled between a low in early April and May 25, so is no surprise that hospitalizations and deaths are still rising.

5. Worldometers reported 95,000 new cases...

That's a big difference. I wonder why.

6. And New York Times has: May 30: 32,152, May 31: 182,368, June 1: 219,267

as the daily new cases for these dates

7. Who are we supposed to rely on the most?

This is very confusing.

9. I dunno. The cynic in me says pick the one that best matches the point one is making 😁
