COVID-19 Biden+24

Okay, we have a 2:10 p.m. update from the Times. We'll take that as definitive.

14-day changes

-37% Cases.

-28% Hospitalizations

-16% Deaths

Yeah baby!


7-day (Feb. 7-13) daily averages

94,484 Cases. DOWN

76,094 Hospitalizations. DOWN

The Times does not have an average for Deaths. They have gotten hit with three straight days (Feb. 11-13) of Death data dumps from Ohio. They do have a line and I must say it looks like it inch-wormed up, or at least leveled, from Feb. 12, but of course there is no number for the week ending Feb.12 either.

So that's the Times. Let's check the dailies for Feb. 13 from the Johnnies.

83,321 Cases. Down. The lowest daily (reported) total since October 28!

 

Sorry, a little disappointed in Deaths.

3,361 Deaths. That's too high, Joe! POJo. Too goddamned high. It's technically down from Feb. 12 because of that Ohio data dump blowjob. It's down from Feb. 11, UP each day from Feb. 6-10. Just eyeballing Hopkins' dailies I can't see double-digit declines in Deaths. That is the WRONG thing to do, but I did, and I don't.
