tomorrow will be the first of many daily 9/11s :amerikkka-clap:

can someone please make c/Ovid so I can doompost about shit like this without bumming out everyone on the site? I gotta get it out or I'll make everyone miserable irl

Edit: Another site that I use that has seemed more reliable over time reported 752k not 1.689M, so honestly I'm not sure what to think, I've never seen these two sources disagree so drastically idk what to say about it

the one from the main post

the one this comment is referencing

Edit 2: I figured out what the deal was, the bing site is 3 days behind, the 1.689M figure was its data for january 9th, even though its labled as "over the past 24 hours"

Fuck you bing holy shit get it together

    This might have to do with how different sites classify cases. Say a state on a Friday reports "on Wednesday we had 3000 cases, and on Thursday we had 4000 cases." Site A might choose to add 7000 to the state's case numbers for Friday, whereas Site B might choose to go back and add them to Wednesday's and Thursday's numbers. It's about when the cases were detected versus when they were publicized.
