COVID-19 August 17, 2020

 I'm struggling to get daily or near-daily reports out due to other obligations (a.k.a. my day job!).  Also, considering that there are generally no big changes from day-to-day, and that individual daily numbers shouldn't really be examined I'm going to post less frequently.  

As of today, cases and deaths have leveled off.  The daily death data still looks rather odd to me.  That doesn't mean it isn't real, but it's odd. All through July the death rate was increasing.  Then, at the end of July there was a small bump downward.  Following that the death rate has been near constant.  Why would the upward trend just terminate with a drop and then go constant?  Remember that this coincided with the hurricane in Florida and up the East Coast as well as the system changeover in Texas.
