Or maybe the 3 day average over the weekend was artificially low because of a lack of testing because of Easter.

We see a similar trend in that timeframe in the overall US data, with the same increase in the days following.

By allowing a mass kill off of Social Security recipients and a bonus kill off of future Social Security recipients. The long term math of fewer future recipients paying in doesn't bother them, because they only think about today and tomorrow, and they can replace older more expensive workers with younger cheaper ones.

Republicans know exactly what they are doing, which is why the Democratic Party should be screaming about it, especially when it hits Red rural states next.

And the best part is that these fools think this is a "winning" strategy. It doesn't ever seem to occur these dumbasses that ratfucking your constituents maybe might not be the best way to continue to win favor with them.

In the stock market, there are terms like "resistance", "support", "dead cat bounce".

Trends are best seen in hindsight.

Looking forward, everything is in a grain of salt.
