When a newspaper puts up a headline screaming "deadliest day ever" it's a lie. 120 people did not die on July 9.

Here is how the 120 deaths were allocated properly to the actual date of death.

You really don’t get it. 120 deaths were recorded that day. To know how many actually occurred that day you would have to go to a date in the future to find out how many people had died that day. The current system more readily allows trends to be viewed. You have a clear desire to minimize what is going on for some reason.
