ioGAS makes similar graphs if you select too many elements

Nobody is talking about how the deaths go negative after the 15th. We are not prepared for the return of the living dead.

Kevin Hassett is not an unpaid lackey, he is a professional clown whose entire career is abusing the data to make the numbers go up or down as needed.

Deaths aren't reported nearly as much in the weekend, weekend deaths get bunched up with Monday's or Tuesday's data.

This is why whenever there's a report of a record high deaths/cases in a day you should probably disregard. The data is so noisy that spikes like that are just that. Best to look at some multi-day average to get a clearer picture.

I was looking at historical data for deaths in the UK a few weeks ago. I was wondering what happened in one year where there was this huge spike in deaths in early January, and most of the years had an elevated number at this time. Family stress getting to people? Overeating and drinking? Despair at having to go back to work? Or just x-mas vacation means spotty hours for labs so the data just gets pushed to the next week.

Every week you also hear how the deaths were down (on the weekend) so everything is ok now

Calling it: Gene Ray predicted COVID-19. The medical community was EDUCATED STUPID. It’s DEADLY ERRONEOUS to not consider four 24-hour day rotations when calculating mortality rates - when you do, the numbers are much more complimentary to Trump.

that is the best chart. It's like "all this stuff below the outlier is just garbage and can be ignored, but it's extremely important we get a curve that fits that one outlier!"

I also like how the Laffer Curve is so helpfully labeled.

I once talked to a young conservative who was so convinced by the Laffer curve that he thought that a 25% maximum tax rate was hard-wired into the human mind lol
