COVID numbers don’t come in evenly - Friday’s are the heaviest - Sunday & Monday the lightest.

A note to our data users about the reporting trends observed by day of the week. Currently COVID-19 case data reported on Fridays and Saturdays is nearly double the figures reported on Sundays and Mondays.

New report from @nytimes on the discrepancies among states reporting probable cases:

➡️ 7 states + DC (including TX & CA) do not report probable cases (i.e. positive antigen tests)
➡️ 6 states (including GA, IL & WA) report probable cases separately (not included in total)

** Rating the COVID19 models **

What's the "best" (= most accurate) of the COVID19 models out there? How can we make consistent comparisons over time?

This thread discusses a (new) framework for comparing the models on the @reichlab and @CDCgov sites. 1/
