Sometimes I feel like all of Twitter is looking at different data than I am
Cases are going up, but they’ve been going up for more than a month as deaths have continued to decline.
Consider: “cases” may be a bad metric to focus all of our time and attention on. That number influenced by so much more than how many people are getting the virus.

Relatedly, we know a huge percentage of the deaths (50% in some states) were in nursing homes. Those deaths only really happen once.
Regardless, in the long run deaths is clearly the true key indicator we should be looking at, but no one is paying attention to it.

I’m very open to the idea that I’m wrong here. I just don’t understand how you could read the data as “this is clearly getting exponentially worse.” Maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing?
