The data series, as you may have guessed, is COVID-19 cases in the US. Only 11% of you described the series as "rising" so it's strange to see routine descriptions to that effect, or even references to a "fourth wave", etc. Always check the underlying data for yourself! — PolitiTweet.org

Would you say the quantity depicted in this data series is rising, falling or steady? https://t.co/Zsr1FZnYiV

But there's something else to note, too. The focus on the national picture obscures important regional differences. Michigan is currently having a VERY serious surge, for instance (depicted below). NY/NJ/CT seemed to be flirting with a surge but it has since flattened out. Etc. https://t.co/KYc0GkfHsH — PolitiTweet.org
