Covid-2019 - 2022-01-03
Date:
Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Summary:
Today's data marks the climax of the crazy holiday reporting glitches coincident with the Omicron wave, where health authorities skip a day or two and then load up a single day's case and fatality numbers with two or three days' worth. We're not really going out on a limb here to say that today's impossibly high reported global new cases, at about 2.4 million, almost half of that in the US, are the highest we will ever see. In the coming days we'll adjust the charts to smooth out the spurious peaks.
