Seeing a lot of traction for the graph below - want to show why this is *not* true.

It's reasonable to be worried that the HHS shift would cause case data to be suspect after all the public statements. However, this is just not what we seen @COVID19Tracking.

Here's why... 1/

First - here's cases over time in the US as reported by states. The highlighted day is July 24, well past the 16th. That's over 75k cases reported, the third highest day yet.

But there's more... 2/

Here's cases per million people for each state over time.

Arizona peaked before the changeover. And many states, including many southern ones, continued to see rising cases after the 16th.

The switch to HHS was hasty and very disruptive, but it hasn't impacted case counts.
