I've been following their data for a while and I admire their work, but I've stopped believing their numbers without double-checking. (Yes, I've filed bugs.) In addition, the last day on the graph has always made it look like cases are tapering off because it's partial data.
daily new cases (at the very bottom) shows there's very little increase from the 13th to the 14th.
I think this is a very localized view of behavior. There are many large regions, pockets, demographic slices of the country where life is going on roughly as it was a few weeks ago.
Check out the Nashville music and party scene... It's hopping right now. I think #NashvilleUndefeated is their slogan. In Portland OR, I've observed a slight decrease in activity, but only by 5-10% from what I normally see.
now, I know, today's number's aren't fully in yet, and there are day to day fluctuations. but, if you trust the numbers for the last 3 days, it looks like the number of cases is not increasing exponentially. I know the actual case number is much higher, but, what matters is the relative percent increase or decrease from day to day, and it does not seem to be increasing in the last 3 days. am i wrong?
Starting a few days ago, almost no one is going out, except to do their big shopping. so how can the virus still spread?
