Eh... It's more than that. Because there will be another ~200 added to the "previous 14 days" tomorrow.
So it'll end up being about 200 per day, but still miniscule given the population.
This has been my biggest frustration. We're making rules and policy on absolute garbage data. 300 cases are from over a month old, going on historical trends id say a good chunk of those are from 2 months. So we won't know how many positives we had today for another 2+ months. We won't know how many deaths we had today for another 3+ months.
One side is being really disingenuous by showing the deaths and new cases as "today's" total. The other side is also being disingenuous by acknowledging that half the numbers are a month old but not acknowledging there will be an lag data for "today" coming out over the next weeks. They're taking the within two week number as if it's final.
Either way, the lag in data is unacceptable for creating policies and restrictions and, honestly, dumbfounding seeing how it's 2020.
