Rather than posting a rather long narrative, I'm going to drop this article about testing and reporting issues in various states: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/12/accuracy-of-us-coronavirus-data-thrown-into-question-as-decline-in-testing-skews-drop-in-new-cases.html
Things are a real mess. Actually, things are FUBAR. While everyone is/was worried about the federal government fudging numbers after bypassing the CDC, the real story, I think, is at the state level. The daily case numbers and total cases are becoming increasingly meaningless with time. The death rate is still more robust, but that's a relative assessment. How many different ways and our local, state and federal governments fail us?
