Here, though, keep in mind the variables - WHEN these numbers came in, who's reporting them, from where, and when those reports reach the people making up these graphs, PLUS when the people making the graphs actually input the numbers. Besides, there's often somebody who might have to run to the bathroom. When the numbers are changing this rapidly, it's hard to anticipate when it's safe to take a break, regardless how brief.
