I posted this elsewhere last night. NY added several thousand more deaths, and worldometer doesn't reflect that. 635,200 Confirmed cases in U.S. 32,081 Deaths in U.S. nbcnews.com

Please note: Today's chart reverses my decision yesterday to switch data sources for that day. I didn't believe the dead count that morning, because it was so out of line with previous data. But it turns out to have been correct, there was some sort of adjustment made, perhaps based upon presumed dead of coronavirus. I've gone back and replaced yesterday's numbers with those from the data source consistently used from since the start - John Hopkins CSSE. The lognormal graph hides just how drastic the adjustment actually was. Here is a chart of the daily total dead of coronavirus on a linear scale. Looking at it, you might more easily understand why I had a hard time accepting the number as being accurate.
