Your point being? I’ts a question, not sarcasm. I truly don’t get your point

Let me see if I understand M T...

He's saying that the CDC issues 2 reports for each week.  One soon after the week has ended.  And one a little while after the week has ended.
Likely, the 2nd report for each week will have more deaths because of late reports.

What M T finds misleading is that the CDC uses this 2nd report of a previous week and compares it to the 1st report of the current week.
That's not an apples to apples comparison.  If they stuck to comparing only 2nd reports from each week, or only 1st reports from each week, they would have to report that in week 28, we've unfortunately started increasing again.

But instead, they do a little data manipulation and use the 2nd report from the previous week (which of course has now grown bigger than what it was from the 1st report) to compare to the 1st report from this week.  

Anyway, I probably wasn't any better at explaining it.  But maybe I threw out enough words that I was able to give you a glancing nudge. =)
