The USA just reported its deadliest day for coronavirus patients as states reopen

7. The numbers are strange.

Only this source reports that high a number. It may be that the CDC finally caught up on reporting. Might be a typo--it's about 1000 higher than every other reporting source. For some, outliers require an explanation. For others, outliers are taken to be more representative of the *real* data than most of the data.

Remember that with all due regard to CNBC it is *not* the number of people who died in the 24 hour reporting period. At this point it's not a facile error, it's a foolish error. WHO can't know the actual number of deaths; in fact, the CDC probably doesn't know the actual number who died; both just know what's reported. WHO says as much, but it requires reading the technical apparatus to understand the data. I know, "reading."

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports is a good source for this kind of thing, if you want. They track usual reported numbers fairly closely except for that one report. It doesn't show up among the errata in situation report 103, but may be because nobody cares about them.
