Statistically this all might be quite normal. When you have everyone counting cases relentlessly showing you the cumulative total rather than the daily ups and downs you end up with a big stack of ever-increasing values for each location and the stack grows by little increments throughout the epidemic.
With enough locations, on any given day there are going to be little shovelfuls added for each - except for the outliers like Michigan , New York. Somewhere, some day out there this tally will rise by a selected number number for that day and there will be many just a few off from the pace. It’s actually random but growing about the same way across the country (and world) so it seems spooky to call a number and have Google “find it”.
It would be strange if it didn’t work.
Now the numbers of “cases” and even “deaths” are garbage at this point and should not be used to direct leftwing jerks like Whitless in MI to plan unending “waves”, punishing petulant citizens and trump voters with finger wagging. Look into “reporting delays” to see how you can create any trend you want, need. Why the president took control away from CDC causing immediate panic and projection from the Rats.
