Mondays typically have low Covid numbers.

Today we crushed last Monday’s case numbers. Nearly 60K new cases reported today.

That doesn’t bode well for the week.

Repeat. Retweet. Make sure people know we are in bad shape! By the end of the week we might hit 80K cases in a day!

I've noticed the same trend, and was thinking earlier today, that 80,000 is likely in the next few days.

that Switzerland's new cases have almost doubled in 3 days but they only post their info on certain days of the week. Sweden is going high again too, but another delayed "daily" report from them as well.
