1. Hey LiberalArkie

Yesterday's chart showed 18 deaths and today's shows 12. Was that an error on your part? Or did they screw with the numbers?

[LiberalArkie]

2. Thanks for spotting it. I don't know where I got the 18 from. I may have mistyped(probable)

or one of the news or dept of health sites mistyped.

3. I think they are futzing the numbers.

[LiberalArkie]

4. That is a given. I hope they are doing it by reducing it by percentage. That would still

give good information.

During the Viet Nam war people were able to see the death count fudging by looking at the local obits and comparing the to what the DOD was producing. But newspapers don't print obits unless the families pay for them.
