Thank you for chart. I think the data on cases is so questionable because there is no standard definition for a “case” “new case” “confirmed case” etc and the states are mushing them together. Plus the type of tests are not split out nor positive test results given in many states-Just some positivity rate with an unspecified algorithm. Then when you blend questionable unstandardized data from 50 states or the world, its junk.

Testing positive for the corona virus does not constitute a case of the virus.
