The fact is this date had the highest number recorded since April , if the real date this happened was 8 days ago what does it matter from an action plan perspective.
You go your way I’ll go mine as this is also what every other country is doing.
It isn't a disagreement, I'm just pointing out, in the interests of accuracy, just what the figure you quoted actually is. I'm just explaining what 'deaths at 598 today' as you put it, actually refers to. It is not the number of people who died yesterday, it is the number of deaths reported, and the figure is inflated because of the lag in reporting over the weekend. You consistently fail to make this clear, so I'm just helping you out.

You're welcome.
