if it went from 1.6% to 10.8% in 1 week, that is an alarming increase in positive cases but if it went from 11.6% to 10.8% then that is a decrease. ffs if you are sounding the alarm, then post the correct information. these graphs make no sense when you look at the notations.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
