Here's what it looks like if you take the 7-day rolling average. The numbers have been relatively flat in Wisconsin, not down, which isn't great, and in general I worry about the Upper Midwest a bit. But the implication of a major spike or surge is pretty misleading. https://t.co/0HPZNKbaAa — PolitiTweet.org

Way too many misleading stories like these based on one day's worth of figures. Wisconsin reported 22 deaths on Wednesday but that was after three very slow days (3, 4, 3) Sunday thru Tuesday, which likely reflected lags because of the 3-day weekend. https://t.co/CNRc9rlmQp — PolitiTweet.org

There hasn't been. People are: 1) mixing and matching two non-comparable data sources. https://t.co/l3mHb6o2c4 2) not accounting for the fact that deaths can be classified as pneumonia *and* COVID-19. https://t.co/EFBMaB1oJP — PolitiTweet.org

It is stunning that such a simple question is still causing so much debate. Has there been a pneumonia-death surge… https://t.co/16wTWPbGgA
