States whose day-over-day "daily new COVID-19 infections" data is *bad* (meaning it's gone up appreciably today over yesterday even though the weekday to weekend switchover normally would cause a drop):

🔹DC
🔹Hawaii
🔹Kentucky
🔹Missouri
🔹N. Dakota
🔹Ohio
🔹S. Dakota
🔹Vermont
PS/ The list is largely rural states, largely red states, largely non-coastal states, largely states we've heard nothing about during Trump's White House briefings. And *remember*, this is Friday-to-Saturday data. Comparing apples to apples, Oklahoma and others would be on there.
PS2/ Basically, the majority of states are on a plateau numbers-wise, a small number are clearly coming off their plateau—these being the only states Trump and Dr. Birx are willing to talk about—and then maybe a quarter of states are starting to look like they're in real trouble.

If someone figures out what is up with the @Worldometers data for New York, please let me know. It's the global epicenter of the pandemic and @Worldometers reports 33% more deaths—20,167 versus 15,302—than the State of New York or anyone else. @Worldometers has to fix this *now*.
PS/ The result of this error—either by @Worldometers or everyone else—is the former is reporting 46,235 deaths in the U.S., while others are reporting about 40,500. So nearly all the difference is coming from @Worldometers data for New York. This really matters for IHME purposes.
PS2/ If there are 40,500 U.S. deaths, there's still a very distant chance the IHME model could be accurate. If there are 5,700 more deaths than that, the IHME model is well off-course. @Worldometers either needs to shut down or correct the *most important number* it's publishing.

So Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee have formed... a group... taking actions damaging to the rest of America.

This development—which none of us are old enough to experience déjà vu from—underscores that we need a *national* COVID-19 response.
PS/ In other words, we should all be very clear on the fact that Trump has deliberately compelled the country to fracture into region's with distinct responses to the coronavirus pandemic, and has deliberately pitted Americans against Americans while doing so. It is *despicable*.
TYPO/ Apologies for the typo: it should be "regions."

Trump is mentally ill.

Yesterday the White House press corps (@Yamiche) asked him about the numerous *televised, hourlong political rallies he held across the country* in February and March.

His response was that he hasn't left the White House in months.

Trump is mentally ill.
I'm sorry, but you can't have a president who's profoundly deranged like this during a national crisis. And if you do, the whole nation must take evasive action immediately to protect itself from his influence—by which I mean, simply, that he can no longer be covered live.

Ever.
This has to be the turning point for media.

It's time to call it. You can't cover Trump live anymore—ever. Nor should you show any video of him in which he lies—which means you basically won't show video of him.

He did rallies and went to India and said he was in DC. It's over.
