Charts scientists and epidemiologists use are based on date of actual death. See the difference?

Same chart without the colors (from Florida Dashboard)

CDC also uses more scientific date of death charts. Anyone who try's to tell you the media charts are scientific is clueless. When the media says Florida is the next New York they are clueless too. |
The last two charts have the warnings. “ Death data often has significant delays in reporting, so data within the past two weeks will be updated frequently.‘’
In other words. Those charts with the death numbers going down, count back 14 days and know those numbers will likely go up. The highest number of deaths is 13 days ago, and that number could get bigger.
