COVID-19 BIDEN+228 (Sept. 5) Curb Your Enthusiasm

161,210 average daily cases Aug 30-Sept. 5 Up. Our four iteration hopeful string ends. A pretty meager increase of 309 from the Aug. 29-Sept. 4 iteration. But up is up, bad is bad and up is ba.
160,901 average daily cases Aug 29-Sept. 4. Down. And down 2,766 ave/day, by FAR the steepest drop in on this metric in the period the subject of these posts. Time to get hopes up. GIT 'EM UP!
163,667 Aug. 28-Sept.3. Down again. The hell.
164,326 Aug.27-Sept. 2. Down (?) Wow, only the third decrease in 13 iterations and the largest, -1,754, in this minuscule sample size.
166,080 Aug 26.-Sept. 1. Up >6,000/day, the largest increase over a previous iteration in the period under examination. An utter horror.
160,041 Aug. 25-31. Up over 1k/day. That's up almost 5k/day in the latest two 7-day iterations.
158,946 Aug. 24-30. Up over 2k/day.
156,886 Aug. 23-29. Up 741 ave/day. Up is bad. 741 represents a 0.47% increase over Aug. 22-28. Which is minuscule, but minuscule bad.
156,145 Aug. 22-28. Increase of ~ 800 ave/day. An unhealthy increase.
155,365 Aug. 21-27. Second decrease, almost 1k/day average.
156,349 Aug. 20-26. Huge leap, almost 4k/day average.
152,372 Aug. 19-25. Increase.
151,441 Aug. 18-24. Increase.
150,625 Aug 17-23. Increase almost 1k/day average.
149,675 Aug. 16-22. First slight decrease.
150,138 Aug. 15-21. Huge increase, over 4k/day average from Aug. 14-20.

Ave. daily deaths rose to 1,558 Aug. 30-Sept. 5, up from 1,544 Aug. 29-Sept. 4, which was down from 1,550 Aug. 28-Sept. 3. A net increase in funerals of eight over nine days of data. That's just not statistically significant.
