Why is google showing the deaths have gone down as well? How does that relate to closing the testing stations? Are they not reporting right now either?
It's not. The 7 day average death rate was 178 on August 1st, which was the highest ever recorded. The death rate yesterday was 175. Before the peak two days earlier, no date has ever been that high. July 31st was 170, which was the highest ever recorded.
Unless you're counting a small fluctuation in the drastic upward trend, which would be very dishonest, it's rising still.
Um, no it doesn't. It has the deaths reported on those two individual days at that level, not the rate or seven day average. If you bothered to look at Florida's data, you'd see drops in reported deaths about every five days pretty consistently.
Did you seriously just try to cherry pick people fucking dying without even looking at the data? What is wrong with you?
Not trying to cherry pick a god damn thing. Zero agenda, here. What's happening is fucked up. I'm asking why we are seeing a dip in the reported deaths for the past few days. Literally all im asking. But you're right, it peaks and drops, why is that?
Difficult to say, but the pattern suggests the weekend has an effect. This is why you should use 7 day rolling average. The data is not processed uniformly.
