That’s you, Beelzebub.
Dance you half man queen of the punk asses pussy boy. Show those YMCA moves to the Booty Bandit in the Trump Gray Bar hotel.
My God that seems like a huge increase in two days. Is it?
Oh my God, it is.
3,854 reported out as dying from Trump Plague Jan. 6 a new record, breaking the record,
3,767 reported on Jan. 5.
The New York Times 14-day averages show,
+8% new Cases. That's a substantial change. It was +/-1% the last couple of times I checked.
+10% new Hospitalizations. My recollection is that is the same from Jan. 4's iteration.
Flat Deaths. That's the same. How so, given two successive record days? I don't know.
The Times 7-day graphs--Oh, the Times has an interesting note! 'Member I toldja Hopkins Jan. 2 Cases spike was so clearly Holiday reporting artifact that I didn't even report it? Well:
The “backlogged” line points directly to Jan. 2, the yellow vertical. Look at the increase from the Dec. 30 trough through Jan. 6. +’s and -‘s, that might not get a similar caveat from the Times but, come on, New Year’s Day is smack in the middle of the Jan. 6 end and Christmas smack in the middle of the Dec. 30 end. They’re anomalous.
The 7-day Deaths graph also has a “backlogged” note, but it points to a trough, or two troughs.
The Times explanation for both Cases and Deaths is that Jan. 1 is “artificially low”; Jan. 2 “artificially high”. But Jan. 1’s Cases number, and hence 7-day average, is not yellow, while both Jan. 1 and 2 on the Deaths graph are yellow. The Times’ explanations do not match the graphed data. Whatever! In Publocc’s view there is too much Holiday noise to all of this data, daily, 7-day average, 14-day average. Salt grains. Take them.
