#11  and on the subject of metrics,

today is a Sunday and if you look at the Worldometer stats you see that the previous few Sundays (May 10, May 3, April 26 and April 19 were local low points in the fatality count

likely as not it is due to lag in post death examinations

#6  I was about to be happy at the fact that the percentage of wu positive tests in the USA is way down in the past month.

Then I realized that the mix of devices used for testing have changed and the sample of the population being tested has changed. So no reason to be happy on that basis.

The futility of analysis.
