26. Dig in a bit.

Take the WI Forbes link. (Picked because ... dunno why.)

Deaths and new positives peaked the same day. Since there's a 2-week lag between "positive" and "deceased" the two can't be related. Both were after a several-day-long dip because of a 3-day weekend, though.

Plus the spikes are just that--very short-term upticks. That kind of fluctuation happens all the time in fairly random data, esp. with small numbers. The peak reported death # is 18. Average is probably around 8 for WI. Most of the panic simply due to noise.

Remember, the #s you see reported today are just the test results or deaths reported today, not the test results or deaths that occurred today.
