HMM: COVID-19 “Spike”? Or Spin? “Moreover, as regular readers know, I’ve been tracking Missouri’s COVID-19 numbers closely, as well. And, as we’ve reported here at RedState, there have been numerous protests and marches in Missouri (in St. Louis, Kansas City, and even in smaller communities). If we’re experiencing a spike in cases, that should be reflected in Missouri’s numbers, too, right? The average increase in new cases in Missouri between June 1st and June 14th has been 1.5%. Between June 7th and June 14th? 1.4%. Nor has there been an uptick in the hospitalization rate in Missouri in that time period.”
