Yes. Case numbers are not comparable with past; time series mean very little. Don't look at cases. Numbers to watch are deaths, ICU beds, severity, age-stratification, etc. Cases aren't a good indicator of trends. We have better treatments, too, so no apples-to-apples comparison.https://twitter.com/ChristosArgyrop/status/1280476612195057665 …

The map is not the territory, especially when the way we draw the map has changed so drastically. I don't think it's possible to say that much about what cases mean now compared to the past. What part of the iceberg where we measuring then and are we measuring now? Unclear.
