This is what they have been doing since the beginning btw. There are countless examples of it. Maybe they didn’t purposely in this case (doubt) but it’s been at the very least and incompetent shit show. Some labs would hold on to their data for a few weeks and dump it all at once.
The government is terrible at everything and guaranteed they just didn’t bother to curate the data as it was probably a political mine field to say they’ve been fuckin’ up. Can you imagine? “Hey, uh all your data is full of errors. You keep counting positive PCR tests as “infections”. This data over here has results from 6 months ago mixed in with recent data. You say this is a rolling average but it’s clearly just cumulative.”—“Whatever number Nazi”. Or more like “I’m not touching that with a 10 foot pole”.
This kind of data on this level needs to be cleaned up and curated at a very high level. Do you think they have accurate seasonal flu numbers even months after it’s over? No fuckin’ way. This is an absolute disaster. People need to burn.
