I mostly agree but they need to show new cases vs repeat positive test.

After Pence sent the letter that required standardized reporting directly to HHS, the Karens and Acostas lost their minds.

I would tweak it a bit, but WAYYYYY better than virtually every media source. I've gone numb being pissed at the breathless reporting of "new cases" with zero context.

But I can’t pretend that it’s KILLING OUR KIDS. And that it affects everyone exactly the same.

Our elected officials and their lackeys are frickING IMMORAL ASSHOLES for taking away our rights while feeding us half-truths and misinformation as justification.

They deserve punishment.

While that's a nice, clean breakdown, there's still the question re: the accuracy of the data.

You don't think re-openings should be on there also?

That's the Georgia re-opening. That's barely any of the relevant info. If the pride marches are going to be called out separately, then certainly the AZ and CA re-openings should be as well.

Is there a central data bank which would provide that info?

Wouldn’t you also need to know how many times the same person tested negative too?
