Nice. I didn't adjust mine. But mine would probably reflect a similar spike on the date they have.
Huge spike yesterday and my model was off.
The spike was so large that there has to be something about it somewhere in the data. What happened 14-21 days ago? The mass quarantines and lockdowns which "inspired" people to freak out and go shopping. Which caused the exposure of people who may not have been exposed. Which caused a spike in deaths. If we are supposedly near or at saturation, then those that were not exposed yet, for whatever reason, are vulnerable.
The US is currently sitting at 16: much lower than normal for this time of day. Perhaps the spike yesterday was just uncharacteristic and we will see much lower numbers, today?
And, yup, we are in flu level numbers, now. 24,000-80,000 estimated flu deaths with the 24K figure being the one the one the CDC formally uses.
2017-2018 flu season had 80K deaths. So, combined, SARS-CoV-2 + Flu seasonal deaths may be less than 2018-2018 flu season, which would be good.
