There was the usual weekend lull in Deaths reporting this past. After the 1100 Quadrangle, reported Deaths dropped below 1,000 to 884 Saturday, but then, unexpectedly, the bottom fell out yesterday, only 440 Deaths, the lowest daily number since, well, only in a week, since July 19. I don't know if you could call 884 on Saturday a "typical" weekend lull, and today's, July 27th count is going to be over 1,000 again. To more than double in one day is atypical. The seven-day average is still at a new recent high, 912, is the highest since June 5. It is not a good sign that we didn't really see much of a two-day drop, we stepped down on a pretty high step on Saturday, tumbled down to the landing Sunday and now have double-stepped up to ~1,000 in one day, today. That shows to me anyway a tenacious, aggressive Death, one eager to get back to its recent rarefied air, not a weakened, demoralized creature. When the seven-day average comes out early this next morning it will include today, July 27th's, high number, the low-low 440 on Sunday, the dang impressive for a Saturday 884 and then the 1100 Quadrangle. That seven-day average gonna rise manana.
Cases have plateaued now for ten straight lines (the seven-day average). That is good, good news, it beats an out-of-control rise, that's for dang sure but man it sure is a high plateau. Today the seven-day average is at its lowest in these last ten days and it is at an average of 65,628(:o!) per day. Not very he'pful.
Meanwhile, Trumpie is resolving to keep these Cases death factories rising onward and upward! Person, woman, man, infections, death.
Trump, reverting to form, says ‘governors should be opening up states that they’re not reopening.’
(NYT)
Even as the virus rages across much of the nation, forcing many states to slow or reverse their reopenings, President Trump said Monday that more states should be opening up.
,,,
...Mr. Trump complained that “a lot of the governors should be opening up states that they’re not opening, and we’ll see what happens with them.”
GOOD! I like! Trumpie: Call for your brownshirts to "LIBERATE!"

The good Dr. Deborah Birx-Mengele was once again clear as mud today and we applaud the Doktor as well.
Dr. Birx wants to see all of Tennessee mandate masks — but stops short of asking for a statewide mandate.
...
“We need 100 percent of the counties, including the rural counties, to have these mandates,” Dr. Birx said during a news conference...but she stopped short of publicly asking its governor to issue a statewide mandate.
Well, the governor was there, in public, with Birx-Mengele when she said that.. I don't know, I guess she didn't turn to face him when she said "We need 100 percent of the counties...to have these mandates." I don't get the nuance. Birx-Mengele is a fake doctor so doesn't know even what she's saying.
