There seems to be a sharp discrepancy between Worldometer and Wikipedia. Wikipedia, which has shown itself to be very consisitent, shows an astonishing 237 deaths in NY. That’s the difference, there, because Worldometer shows only 82. But both arrive at the same total, so it seems that for some reason, Worldometer included a staggering number of them as coming from yesterday’s data (Fri actual deaths), whereas Wikipedia counted them as coming from today’s (Sat’s actual deaths).
Anyway... it shows that there really is a decline happening, but just how noisy the data is.
If I’m not mistaken worldometer updates on GMT. But it’s still a drop.
Worldmeter seems to now update on randomly.
I expect nature will work its course and the NY numbers will creep up for the next week or so. Really nothing to be surprised about.
