CoVID-19
They changed both the recieving agency, what specifically is being reported, and how it's submitted. That also means that county health departments are collecting a lot more information that they may not have before, causing a slow down. This is the part that affects most of the trackers, the better of which pull straight from local data. So yes, this affects everything because health departments are doing the reporting differently.
I thought the same thing as toshi posted until I learned everything that changed beyond just what building it's being sent to.
You'll notice a distinct flattening of the curve from about July 11 on in every single state, and certainly nationally. That's not a coincidence and no 50 different states didn't all of a sudden start seeing fewer positive cases.
What's happening is that there's going to be a monumental lag. Not necessarily cooked, but underreported for a long time until everyone catches up.

Okay, makes sense. So in the mean time Herr Twitler will attempt to make it look like the virus is fading away, contradicting experts, and encouraging more irresponsible behavior.
Yep.
Just like he's trying to make you hate the post office right now since the intelligent life in this country recognizes the need for mail in voting during a pandemic, when he knows the poll numbers don't favor him.

It’s a WIN-WIN!
You forgot about the part where thousands of people died or suffered permanent damage.
Came the closest I’ve been to blowing a gasket over all this. I had a few friends recently say stuff to me about how they’re “carefully” engaging in fun social activities. I wanted to message some of them who “miss me” and remind them to think of me sitting here in isolation since March when they go off doing nonessential activities. I hope it’s worth it, assholes.
Ya know I'd love to have an actual, in person, conversation with another human again, but I'm starting to lose that desire.
What are you going to do about the business then? Have the couples chop off their fingers and send them to you?
Sounds an acceptable solution to me...... they have 2 hands don't they?What are you going to do about the business then? Have the couples chop off their fingers and send them to you?
Rings can go on the other hand.
The rings are art dammit and that's way more important than your mere physical convenience!
Art for arts sake,
Money for gods sake!
If there's one thing Donnie 2 scoops is good at it's cooking the books.

Oh well! Enjoy seeing your friends, kids!
In person schooling will be the single most significant vector in the history of this pandemic by the time this is all done.
As I reflect daily on the 24 hours of peace and quiet I have in my home, I will now also be thankful for the absence of walking disease vectors.
Why would they? Older students who are more susceptible to the disease living in communal housing with little adult supervision, what could go wrong?I just hope to the @FSM that they don't send the Montana boys home.

Bozeman School District released it's 2 days on 2 days off schedule with a day in between for deep cleaning, with a virtual opt out option.
Meanwhile back at the ranch:
Does paying tuition with your costco card double the warranty on school too?

Could be a good year for your boys to get some tele-gear and forego the lifts...
We got a room & board refund last semester... dunno how much they can keep doing that sort of thing. But yeah... pretty much "when."
Good news is that the eldest will remain even if they go full virt - he's in a 12m lease.
Best case would be if one of his roommates bails and I can move the middle kid in there as well...
