Note that Texas has changed how they report fatalities on their dashboard as of today.
First of all, on Sunday they reported 5,038 fatalities total, today they report 5,711 total fatalities - as of 7/24! So there is some kind of catch-up going on, with 675 additional fatalities added today.
However, on their dashboard they switched to a deaths by date graph based on death certificates, and you can't see the number of fatalities recently reported on a given day. They appear to have gone flat, but that's because recent data is missing. They say nothing about the change on the dashboard. I had to go hunting for news about the change - couple of links have been included below.
It looks like things have flattened with 1 more death reported for 7/24 and nothing after 7/24 and they also stop the 7 day average on 7/14. So this is going to be real confusing for a while. On 7/14 they had reached a 7 day average daily fatalities of 153. I guess that means data after 7/14 is not yet complete.
Ugh! I have to switch to calculating the difference between daily cumulative fatality numbers. Whatever.
This news article reported 44 additional deaths today (Monday) but I don't know where they got that number. Ignore the video as it is from yesterday, talking about yesterdays numbers, but does point out that Texas deaths jumped 25% in just 1 week from 4020 to 5038 yesterday (they don't know to do the math and say 20%). https://www.khou.com/article/news/h...jump/285-19fc2cc4-a1ab-4d28-88a2-e439a176eb60
