Same old, same old. Cumulative deaths are clearly flattening, and the daily deaths have been stable for nearly 2 weeks. Those Americans estimated to remain uninfected is down to 67.762%; and the death rate has dropped to 0.10323%.

Georgia is still stable. Newly reported cases seem to be up a bit, probably due to increased testing, and daily deaths have been declining, now flat for nearly 2 weeks.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 2, 2020:


The cumulative trend line has changed sharply, which basically means only that the short-term variations are unstable, which probably means that the data glitch of May 29-31 is still having an effect. Daily deaths are up today, but the 7-day rolling average remains stable. The death rate remains at 0.1036% and uninfected Americans percentage continues to drop, at 68.442% today.

Georgia is still stable.

SURELY YOU JEST: Don’t laugh at Stacey Abrams.

Her arrogance is underwhelming.
THE EXPERTS who cried wolf.

It's been my experience over the last 30 years of working as an 'expert' that far too many are so enamored of their expertise that they forget to look at the facts. This seems to be the case with the HealthScareTM professionals.
WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 1, 2020 [note scale change]:


Now that the data from May 29th-31st has corrected, that stubborn cumulative death curve has begun to come down. If the trend line is anywhere near accurate in the short term, total deaths will most likely be in 105,000 range as the Wuhan flu season ends. The daily death toll has been steadily dropping for nearly a week -- despite more and more reopenings (and blatant disregard for the diktats of the 'governing' class).

The estimated death rate has dropped sharply, to 0.1036%, and the estimated percentage of Americans not yet infected has begun to drop again, to 68.788%.

Georgia's coronavirus numbers remain stable.
