As we approach 2700 new deaths. What is our high so far? I think I tried to forget

when I saw lower number for a couple days I fooled my self into thinking perhaps we had turned a corner. I knew we hadn't but I hoped.

Absolutely grim. New York and New jersey back to peak numbers, while deaths tick up elsewhere. Pennsylvania looks particularly newly bad. California ticking up now. Numerous states saw 10% of their total dead YESTERDAY.

A fucking nightmare unfolding.

...the high looks like it's around where it is so far today.
The y axis is in 500s so it's hard to detail the exact figure but it appears 2,700-2,800 was the prior high.
4 or 5 days ago.

Woohoo...a new high record for the fake POTUS. Will he advertise this in a tweet this evening? "Ratings, winning, they love me....."

New York is coming down but 5 or 6 states are now over 100 deaths per day. Even here in Indiana we had 70 today. Normally it’s been around 40-50.

So it could be due to a reporting issue that leads to an artificial "catchup" after under-reporting dips on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

People seem to have the impression that the deaths have to happen on the day they're reported.

There's usually a dip before them, too.
