Wanted: Smart person on DU who can explain these figures showing dramatic drop of Georgia new cases

[Doodley]

I've been over an hour trying to figure this out. Here (see first bar chart on link below) on the Georgia Department of Public Health, the latest daily cases numbers have dropped dramatically. It is as if Brian Kemp has found the Covid cure.

Recent numbers are:

523 new cases four days ago
345 new cases three days ago
70 new cases two days ago
30 new cases yesterday (Thursday)


https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-daily-status-report



However, what confuses me is the AJC (first bar chart in link below) that doesn't show this drop at all and the latest figure is 781 for Thursday (compared to 30 above). Can anyone explain it?

1. ass kissing governor doing all he can to suppress the numbers?

who knows

[brer cat]

2. DPH mentions in a footnote

that there was a lag in reporting for recent dates. I can't imagine that low number of new cases.

3. Liar?

Georgia wants to open. Trump despite his feeble condemnation wants them open.

Fact. People are going to die.

7. Yep.

We here in MA are doing our best to quarantine and social distance and yet our case numbers and number of deaths keep increasing daily. How are they able to keep their numbers so low unless they are lying. Especially since so many of them are ignoring instructions to social distance and stay inside?

[sheshe2]

8. Agree, from MA.

13. Hi sheshe2!

Hope you are well and staying healthy!

[sheshe2]

14. Trying.

Hope you are too. I know you work and this must be hard on you to be home. I am retired, not a biggy for me. Taking care of a 93 year old is a whole different story.

Please stay safe.

Hugs~

4. Find out how many they've tested

With Kemp, he could just stop testing so cases don't register.

10. Kemp is definately keeping the facts from us.

Get Stacey on his lying ass. She would eat him alive.

16. Fortunately

I know a lot of people in Georgia who are way more intelligent than their governor.

5. Probably the same as how FL, TX & GA are under-reporting their deaths compared to other states.

6. Lack of testing?

9. Right under the chart...

“Confirmed cases of COVID-19 by date of earliest known sign of illness. Please note that these data represent our most current understanding of the cases at the time of report. The most recent days of these trend data are impacted by a reporting lag that varies based on how the case is reported to public health and are subject to change. ”

11. Lack of testing. Period. Oh and probably some lying and cheating since it's the schmuck who

stole the election from Abrams.

15. Cooking the books.

Plain and simple.

Note: they are lowering the number of deaths by day at a proportional scale.

In the reality we live in, it would take 2-3 weeks for the death rate to follow the case curve. That is the limit of the biology of the disease... it takes time to die from it.
