The data in chart is bullshiat as noted below (once again).
So the data at https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/blob/master/us-counties.csv
provides data in the following format:
date,county,state,fips,cases,deaths
(fips is federal county code)
Lets take a look at the data for Collier County, FL on January 17, 2021
2021-01-17,Collier,Florida,12021,25782,376
Based on this data tell us how the chart comes up with approximately 540 cases (or per million) for January 17, 2021. (Hint it is not a delta from January 16, 2021 for total cases.
2021-01-16,Collier,Florida,12021,25645,375
Obviously the chart shows a 540 cases (or cases per million possibly)-- a delta from the data source showing 137 case increase in cases between the two days in Collier County, FL. So much for cases --- nor does it align with cases per million based on county population of approximately 384,902 people (2019 data).
Whether you look at cases or cases per million -- the chart is off. I will note the data source does not provide cases per million so obviously the chart is not drawn directly from the claimed source.
This basically demonstrates the chart is not drawn from the data source -- hence the chart is complete crap.
Of course, you are unwilling to provide the Tweet which is the source of the chart.
Wait, what? What is your question here?
You're saying that the chart does not match the data? Is that what you are saying? I just want to make sure I understand what you are contesting.
By the way, it is good you finally went to contesting the actual data. This is something we can discuss.
