Fly, I don't know the answer to your question. I suspect that some states are reporting one way, and others some other way. Given how much inconsistency there is in the data as its been reported, each state may be doing it differently than all the other states
This article explains what I was asking about data lag, but focuses on death reporting. It seems to document and verify what many of us have suspected. Daily death reporting does not tell the whole story, and can easily be misrepresented by an uniformed or disingenuous media.

The COVID tracking project just did a comparison of both methods and determined the curves are basically the same and presenting by day reported is not materially different than using day of death.

Our analysis suggests that tracking deaths by date of report is an effective, fast way of following the trends in deaths over time. While, ultimately, the date-of-death method will generate more precise statistics, public health officials and the public at large need the immediate and understandable view of trends that the date-of-report method provides. Officials should strive to include a seven-day average when presenting death data using date-of-report.
