LOL. One day’s worth of data?
...
The link I provided shows three data points after the 2/13 adjustment. China is on the other side of the date line.
Three does not equal one.
TWO days data. The “most recent day’s data” always goes up later. How much and when seems to vary, so I’ve learned to discount that data until well into the same “day”, here in the US.
That said, on the one hand I am hopeful - the steady growth in cases (if one curve-smooths the jump on the 13th and assumes some of that jump actually occurred earlier) in the face of the Chinese containment effort seems unsustainable.
OTOH, I’ve thought that 3 times now and “got fooled”.
And that all assumes the Chinese #’s can be trusted, which even our CDC seems to doubt.
