In a prior post (titled “Shameless manipulation!“) I explained a variety of ways CDC can manipulate the Covid statistics. It seems they may be using at least one of these ways to crank up the number of new cases.
From today’s Washington Post come these comparisons of the 7-day averages for this week and the week before:
Cases–up 12.1%
Deaths–down 0.4%
Hospitalizations–up 0.2%
Tests performed–up 36.2%
Get it?
