4. Over weekends, it is slower

But this was slower than typical weekends

505 and 615 death tallies for those days were the lowest tallies since March 30. They had a third day of 774 after those two which was slightly higher than the previous low of 750 between March 30 and now.

They had their thumb on the scale.

The fact of the matter is they passed 100,000 a long time ago but have been under reporting for some time. No one is reporting on how many have been disabled either. They're on track to double these numbers by August so I'm not sure how much it all matters.

When folks start dying in the Red states, that'll change some attitudes there.
