re: Despite being open (to the disappointment of alarmists) GA cases continue to decline.

I don't know what you mean by "old info". It was showing incomplete info for the last week or so that painted a picture of a significant drop in cases that actually didn't exist.
I get that, but I guess what I'm missing is - how is it that media outlets are ahead of the GA Dept of Public Health website? How is, for example, the NYT showing deaths that dph.georgia.gov is not showing? Shouldn't that website be their source?
ETA: after looking into it more, apparently the media outlets are citing dph.georgia.gov as their source. But they are not using the figures from that graph. I believe what they're doing is calculating the difference from one day to the next in the totals found here:
Note the ** qualifier. I'm not sure all 767 cases were new in GA yesterday. Some might have tested positive weeks ago and are just now sending those in to DPH. Is that how you see it?

Trump made a huge mistake by listening to that short fricker. Economy should have never been shutdown in areas that were not hotspots (shithole nyc, northeast, etc.). You can blame the damn governors also.

Still a sawtooth around a flat line
Coronavirus (COVID-19) statistics data
About this data
It changes rapidly
This data changes rapidly and might not reflect some cases still being reported.
It only includes people tested
Cases only include people who were tested and confirmed positive. Testing rules and availability vary by country. Some areas may not have data because they haven’t published their data or haven’t done so recently.
It comes from Wikipedia
Data comes from Wikipedia, and cases are constantly updated from resources around the world. Daily situation reports are also available on the World Health Organization site.
Why do I get different data from different sources?
There are various sources that are tracking and aggregating coronavirus data. They update at different times and may have different ways of gathering data.

Georgia is still two weeks behind Italy. Am I doing this right?

The bottom line to this pissing match is if Georgia comes through this with little or no uptick in deaths the Gov will look like a hero and appreciably move up the ladder of national political importance....so will the Fla. Gov.

So, either Georgia has some special magic force or shutting down in the manner that we did really didn't sway COVID infection rates like we are being told by the experts.
Well, warm humid weather is here which the virus doesn't like.

If you want cases that actually happened yesterday, you probably will have a lag in data and see what that chart is showing (incomplete data) because there is a lag in reporting. As you mentioned, the cases being reported daily aren't from that day.
If you don't want incomplete data, you use cases reported which, as you said, isn't necessarily reflective of when the cases actually occurred. But, given that cases are reported daily, it allows for an "apples to apples" daily to identify trends. This is what most charts show and they almost all use a moving average to help give a more reasonable average so that weekends don't skew as much.
The bottom line is Georgia hasn't significantly dropped in cases. Also, Georgia hasn't gone up in cases. Being fair, it's too early to use the data to conclude anything relative to its reopening.

Makes sense. Isn't it amazing how often during this pandemic we get to a point where we have to just say "we don't really know" or "it's too early"?
