Some trends are clearly visible nonetheless, like when numbers are going down (unless someone started to deliberately exclude the symptomatic from testing. And observed "high water marks" serve as a lower bound for worst case outcomes, this is where county level data would be far more interesting than country level data (it's no coincidence that tiny states like San Marino, Andorra or the Vatican dwarf all other normalized country level stats).

- xg15 7y agoAre you telling me that e.g. right now, new cases in China could actually be doubling each day while the US might not have any - and we wouldn't be seeing it because of differences in reporting? Also, how did we get from reporting differences to "garbage data"? What kind of data would you classify as non-garbage?
