I believe that the data represents the count as reported on a particular day, your first premise.
I am not aware of any data source that shows the deaths adjusted to the actual date of death. Do you know of one?
I'm not the source of the data, I'm just downloading the dataset from the COVID Tracking Project daily and updating my sheet, so my stuff would be based on however their methodology works. WorldoMeter's number do differ some from the COVID Tracking Project, so every source is a bit different. Over time they all look the same graphically, no real difference.

Thanks for your reply.
I don’t know of an easy way to use what little real data is out there, but I’ll tell you way the state of AZ is doing. They release “daily stats” every morning that show the top line numbers - “1,834 confirmed cases and 133 COVID deaths” for example. But if you look at the charts they publish daily, the reported daily data is not reflected in them because they are going back and reclassifying deaths, and even in some cases COVID cases - do those “1,834 cases and 133 deaths” are found spread out o er an about 90 day period in the rear view mirror.
To graph accurately, you’d have to have their data file (they don’t post it) or scroll through their charts and note the deaths/cases by day, which of course is changing every day for all the days during the COVID period. And that’s before you deal with the non-COVID COVID deaths and double/triple counting cases.
It’s a mess, and probably by design. If they reported accurate data - “unique new cases and actual COVID deaths” on a daily basis, Arizona wouldn’t have gone through this so-called spike and second lockdown of certain businesses and gatherings.
I’m sure Arizona isn’t doing anything that’s not also being done in most other states, if not all of them. They’ve even figured out how to clown the hospitalization numbers.

Do you have a link to the WoM data website?
