286,189 Cumulative Killed by Individual One's incompetence and indifference since Feb. 6.
Now, will the number of daily Dead reported yesterday snap back up like a yo-yo after their inexplicable three-day drop. Me thinks yes given the revised cumulative total...
1,404 Killed reported Dec.7, so yes, unfortunately, that stopped the drop. The Dec. 6 daily was 1,114. Sundays (Dec 6) and Mondays (the 7th) are reporting lag days. These good-news lows are confounding for having stretched from a Friday (the 4th) through a Monday. Based on that ominous total above I predict that when Tuesday's number is reported out in a few hours we will see a snap-back with a vengeance, over 2,000 certainly. If we don't, then something is really going on.
192,416 new Cases reported out on Dec. 7, also up from Dec. 6. Would expect a snap-back >/=210k reported on today, Tuesday the 8th.
The 14-day changes from The New York Times:
+17 Cases
+23 Hospitalizations
+47 Deaths
