132 death certificates came in today. The Florida dashboard keeps an actual deaths by date chart. They haven't posted the actual deaths yet for today, but when they do I can guarantee you they didn't all happen today.

I don't get it. Why does it matter what DAY they died? The numbers add up to the same total whether it's 60+60+12 or 132. If 3 days are released by the state (or whoever) together instead of separately it's still the same number of dead people. What is gained by this absurd obsession? It doesn't make them liars just slow statistic reporters. Does it make that any better? They are so busy finding where to put them they don't have enough time to worry about how they are counted. Fortunately we are lucky here as our county is very low overall. Heaven help those folks down in South FL. The Village of Lemmings south of 44 will be sold out soon.
