Yesterday's chart showed 18 deaths and today's shows 12. Was that an error on your part? Or did they screw with the numbers?

give good information.

During the Viet Nam war people were able to see the death count fudging by looking at the local obits and comparing the to what the DOD was producing. But newspapers don't print obits unless the families pay for them.
