Can someone tell me why the fuck it's okay for weekend COVID numbers to be added to the Monday count?? What the fuck kind of statistics are these? All it does is drastically increase the weekly average, unless I'm missing something. They just expect people to believe that every single Monday the numbers jump like 50%? They obviously were not doing this when Trump was president/when the pandemic was actually going through the first peak.

What's the reason for so clearly manipulating statistics like this? Maintain control? Flat out ignorance and lack of professionalism?
