That is a great point. The imaginary under reporting error across so many years sounds pretty much like it would have to be a “systemic” error (poor data definition, data collection, data analysis algorithms, etc) that repeated. Yeah — so what happened that this year the system error ceased to be?? Because if it didn’t cease to be, then we would expect this year is greatly under reported too. And, they have some explaining to do for switching things up in the middle of a pandemic without publishing their new methods and standards to the field ahead of time and taking out a giant billboard saying —

E R R A T U M! WE HAVE SCREWED UP FOR YEARS! Maybe time to hear from the old guard data analysts about their “screw up” in court? Is this a case that can go to court? Who has standing to bring an action here?
