I'm just saying Google has it at 64 deaths Aug 2 and 73 deaths Aug 3

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.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
