Re: “Unfortunately, there was a big leap in daily new cases today.”
The big leap may be deceptive.
The CDC does not report new numbers between 4 PM on Friday until 12 Noon on Monday.
Many - perhaps all - of the new numbers come from state health departments.
It is not clear if any of the state health departments were reporting new deaths on Saturday and Sunday.
One slightly encouraging fact....
Even with the big leap in weekend deaths, the USA “Case Fatality Rate” (CFR) increased just slightly - from 1.7% to 1.8%.
Before today’s reversal, the CFR was declining or steady for the six previous days.
Thanks. I hope you are right.
Bigger leap today than yesterday. Not good.
