Worldometers showed only 750 deaths today, lowest in over a month. nt

1. Sunday numbers. I think, for instance, there were more than 5 in FL today. n/t

2. It's Sunday, and Mother's Day

So, you know.

3. Mothers day impacts reporting? nt

4. We've seen low numbers on weekends for weeks

Followed by a Tuesday spike as they roll in. Mother's Day, I'm guessing, would exacerbate the weekend effect: even more shit unstaffed than usual.

5. Less people working, lag in reporting.

6. Don't focus on day-to-day numbers.

Look at moving averages and trends.

Remember: These aren't today's deaths being reported. These are deaths being reported today. "Today" says when the reporting is happened, not when the dying happened.

7. We aren't going to believe numbers issued by this administration

As well as some state governors. We are now like the old Soviet Union where you can’t believe anything the government says. We all know the easing of restrictions will boost the number of infected. If official numbers don’t reflect that we’ll know the numbers are being manipulated.

8. It depends on the state. Here in Illinois we are very science and statistic based

They are breaking down the numbers by neighborhoods and race to figure out where they need to go to in the underserved communities.

9. Every single Sunday has seen very low numbers

What matters is comparing to previous weeks with NY state taken out

10. I hope the health helpers are finding ways to keep people alive--

Innovative ways that aren't just about medication.

But I think usually Sundays there are fewer reported.

15. No just low Sunday numbers , CDC isnt keeping them so states have two & they don't work on weekends

11. Numbers are always low on Sunday

[clutterbox1830]

12. So Georgia only reported 6 deaths in 2 days, but had like 1500 cases.

Seems fishy to me.

13. NY was adjusted down 147. Other adjustments were made.

NOTE: Data for New York today reflects a -147 reduction in the number of probable COVID-19 deaths reported by New York City. In addition, since New York State's official tally lags behind with respect to our count, some changes reported today elsewhere were already included in yesterday's count on our site. The discrepancy becomes more apparent during a period of declining daily new cases and deaths

14. Typical weekend reporting drop. nt
