344.3k, 19M

Okay. I ignored the daily counts, the trends, convinced that reporting lag or bump were the cause. Whatever. The numbers are what they are. 

We have had two consecutive days of record highs in Deaths. Looking back at my last post on the subject there were approximately 6k more Deaths. So I checked Johns Hopkins' daily graph.

3,732 Dec. 29

3,744 Dec. 30

The previous high, 3,682, was on Dec. 16.


New York Times 14-day changes.

-13% Cases

+10 Hospitalizations

-9% Deaths


All of the figures except totals are still contingent on reporting erraticity. This is still no way for an advanced society to manage a public health crisis.
