    well today colorado and washington had 27 combined deaths, not over 500 getting dumped, talk about screwing up your numbers.

    you do realize that number will be disseminated to previous days once worldometer confirms the day of death of each reported death.

    You have been told this several times that is how WOM does it.

    screwed up how? Most firms report numbers 3 months after the fact. & the logic is so that they are MORE not LESS accurate.

    most firms are not needing to see how the numbers rise and fall to determine if their state will re-open and how much it will, and how long it will take to re-open more, inaccurate numbers means more, imo, lockdowns, smaller re-opens, more financial hardships.

    so, has any one seen that done, or is it just lost in the fact nobody can go back and see if it is done?

    that argument would golden if you bothered to provide ANY evidence of the number being inaccurate. are you confusing timeliness with accuracy or what????

    Here is the thing, not all of them are testing positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus however. Numerous cases in Italy and uK, but not all are testing positive for the new Corona virus.

    However:

    so its 3800 here, 500 there, 1600 somewhere else, when does it, if it ever will, stop. you will never get any accuracy just throwing things in the hopper when you want to.

    i am saying if every state just lumped all these type deaths as covid19, there is no way states could justify re-opening or expanding the re-opening if deaths are looking like they are increasing due to this.if 500 new deaths suddenly appeared tomorrow in florida, what do you think the response would be? i am willing to guess most people would not know where they came from, just that 500 appeared.

    i am sure the deaths are accurate, just do not believe all are from covid19 and should be seperated, sorry i broke my promise not to get back on that bandwagon, but opening up states is to important to just lump all those deaths together.

    um YES. Go back and look at the daily death chart. Do you see those 3800 deaths posted on April 14th?

    no, some of us actually like consistancy and accuracy in our lives, not, hey, what the hell, just throw numbers against the wall and see what sticks.

    Well my friend, we do love our Gators more than a pandemic. The tougher question is the comparison to Georgia?

    Except for a few places that were aggressive, cases are going up in most places
