"There was a delay in the reporting of a number of deaths from a jurisdiction into the Missouri tracking system. The increase today includes some deaths that occurred outside of the past 24 hours."
So it's not actually one of our worse days due to what those of us who watch the daily statistics are very familiar with, overworked or incompetent jurisdiction delayed reporting.
Actually that excuse was already used at the beginning.
Oh come on. Randy knew that. It just would have made his post much less sensational if he had included that little fact about the reporting period. Most people never question his headlines and ledes.
