I found the curve that we are “rounding” but it is not a sign the virus is going away magically. Just the opposite. The curve is reaching for record high cases, hospitalizations and soon, deaths. This curve should make us all very worried, sad —and yes, mad. #TrumpCovid pic.twitter.com/COjPBVNR3d

To be clear on what I'm WELPing about:
The 10/19 data was rising and had a pair of those extreme green and yellow points, with the other points around 110.
The next few days are all higher than the baseline of the previous days, and one orange point is even higher at 271.
