Using date-of-death based statistics does indeed cause a misleading drop-off in the last few days - there's no perfect way of reporting uncertain information like this in real time - and I should probably have noted that, yeah, but the decline was longer term than that. Though in any case, it looks like my guess was wrong and the problem with Florida stats was even more embarrassing than that. Like, I'd assume if the supposed data manipulation had to do with drumming up support for reopening it'd have some relevance to what was happening now...
