2535 for today. I am sure that number quoted in the previous post was the extra that NY added 2 days ago. But anyway, it looks like we are plateauing 500 deaths higher than I thought we would.
With the authorities changing their data collection and reporting methodology on the fly it is easier just to forget about the numbers and simply look around yourself. Scientific method call for observation as step one
OK, then. Nobody has died around me, therefore there is no pandemic. Anecdote =/= data On the other hand I am not sure if it is due to the usual lower reporting over the weekend but today's number was 1867. My state's death rate has been increasing by quite a lot in the last 3 days.
The last thing we need in this crisis, and in the world in general, is another bloody acronym. And I recall seeing you post one earlier in the thread. DDR. Daily Death Rate? Come on man!

If you crying a lot, I will come up with a few more: The Great Cull Count: number of all deaths in a given country due to the virus Expo Speedy Scythe: the increase of death between days in % Non Virus Death: This is death caused indirectly by the virus because the sick couldn't (not enough doctors/bed/treatment) or didn't want to go to the hospital. Fucking Fedup Mentally: The number of people going boinkers because of the quarantine Florida Man Rate: State specific number, death caused by early beach visiting
