10 deaths in Georgia for all of yesterday and already 65 today? I find that ... unlikely.

My expectation is that the data is very sketchy in most states, and that Covid19 deaths are probably being significantly undercounted. I read an article earlier today about a large uptick of deaths in the home in NYC that speaks to this.
