https://www.newsweek.com/florida-iowa-south-dakota-scale-back-covid-19-reporting-cases-surge-1612831So the daily national metrics we've been following for so long are no longer worth following as closely. Too much bas publicity, so FL, SD, and IA are only reporting once a week now. My own state of Michigan went to twice a week reporting, but we're not in a surge.
I think this is awful, we need up to date data as citizens to make informed decisions, and now we don't have it.

If you don't count the number of Covid cases, then there are no Covid cases.

I seem to remember that a certain orange serial killer made that statement.

This in response to the earth narrowly escaping being hit by a world ending asteroid-
"Let's burn down the observatory so this never happens again!"
Perfect summation of the GQP mindset.
