The US reported -20 deaths on Thursday, which means either (a) the bio boffins have some seriously great news to report, or (b) it's just some kind of statistical artifact that will be corrected soon. Probably the latter, I suppose.
Here’s the officially reported coronavirus death toll through June 10. The raw data from Johns Hopkins is here.
Word is, it's California's fault, if you'll pardon the expression.
Given California's plethora of faults, one more won't make much difference 🙂
That's what I figured.
You should probably compress the Y-Axis on most of those now, given how low the death rate per day has gotten everywhere except Argentina (which seems to be stuck in a never-ending second wave that's more than two months long now, unless the data is unreliable).
Italy finally passed the ignominious 2000 deaths/million threshold (AKA 1 in 500 people in Italy died of the virus).
Uruguay's in the same boat as Argentina.
Found out this morning that both grandparents of my step-kids have COVID. One is in the hospital with the "hoax". These people are in their 80's.....
World-o-Meter has it at 424, and the CDC is only going to the 9th...
hmmmm.....
Alameda County reclassified 411 formerly reported deaths.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering GitHub issues page is a good place to check for things like this.

We are seeing infection rates creep above 1 in some states...8 at or above 1.
New cases/day/100K back up to 2 states above 10, with two others bouncing around 10 recently too: WY, CO, WA and MT; only WY and MT with average infectivity above 1.
Some of this is reporting artifacts--ripples from Memorial Day, some due to hot spots in the state(s).
The fatality numbers are getting a little low. We are due for some catchup numbers from GQP governors to put El Pepe Maximo in his place.
Did it? Updating my spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vPxCBqCXsRvjR3PdLn0vXdJQF3wao-Ry5bS3Fe_9Qxs/edit?usp=sharing suggests the US reported 428 deaths on Thursday (6/10/21).
