From February 23, 2020
New cases are back at a level yesterday that is more what I expected. It’s hard to say why there was the three days of considerably lower cased.
It’s also troubling that the case fatality rate has been slowly climbing.
This is a good example of why it’s never a good idea to rely on a very short series of data in a long stretch to identify trends.
