Epidemic Trump

My goodness gracious, look at this.

                                                                                 CASES


DEATHS
The seven-day average (line) of Trump Virus cases ROSE May 18 and then dipped slightly May 19, but not back to it's May 17 level. If you look closely at the cases seven-day line there has not been a rise over two days of seven-day averages since April 23-24.The seven-day average Trump Deaths has flat-lined from May 16, i.e. four consecutive days. The seven-day average was flat for the three days May 13-15 but it has never been flat for four days.

The daily cases bar graph May 17-19 now has the "skyscraper" look noted here previously, a much lower skyscraper than seen before. Deaths skyrocketed 20% May 19 over May 18.

From the Johnnies at post time:

91,878 Cumulative total Killed by Donald Trump. That is just shy of the population of Carson, California, thirteen miles from downtown L.A. and site of the StubHub Center, the home of the NFL "Chargers," and "Rams" and the MLS "Galaxy."


1,527,895 Cumulative total number of Trump Virus cases since start of the Trump Epidemic. (Note: that is not active cases, that includes deaths and recoveries.).

6.01% Trump's Killing efficiency, five one-hundredths percent off his marksmanship high.


By far, far the most important data is on WaPo's seven-day average lines and the data is not good on that metric for either cases or deaths. We want those lines to go DOWN, we don't want them flat-lining as in deaths, which it has never done before, and we certainly don't want them rising, and that's what the cases average line has done. Bad news.
