    So it doesn't change the numbers much in this case, but I wanted to add that the US actually has a fairly substantial weekly cycle to its covid data. For example there are about 30% more cases that get counted on Fridays than on Sundays. When you're making comparisons, generally you want to get an average over a week, or compare dates that are the same day of the week.

    June 5, 2020 was a Friday, so for Friday June 4, 2021 its 16,860 new cases and 510 deaths
