Unfortunately the death rate is going up now

Edit: yo you guys are absolutely retarded if you’re looking at stats from before last week... THIS week there is a spike in deaths. Around 7-800 a day for last few days. Almost double the previous average... from the week prior.

Here's the data so we can all take a look at it:

First, I do think they're over-reporting, but whatever, we'll use the data for argument's sake.

Second, look at the the oscillation in the graph. We're currently at a local peak, but the overall trend is DOWN.

If you don't understand what a statistical trend is, there are some helpful articles on the internet.

I do think cases and deaths are going up. We’re apparently getting significant overflow from the southern border. The rise in border counties is higher than non border counties, by a lot.
