I've noticed the past several days that the Johns Hopkins number tends to lag this one.

I guess, as a TOTALLY AMATEUR statistician/science buff here, that because I watch MSNBC a lot, and I started keeping track of their cases/deaths counts over the weekend, I'm using mainly their statistics. I don't want to vary the sources because one would have to average them in, and that takes time, and it might need to be done a certain way for a-scientific-as-possible results. A controlled experiment. The only variable I can control in this very minimal and non-pro case is where I get the data from. The source of the data. To attempt at consistency, as it were.

Seems to me it can provide one kind of general view of How Things Are Going.
