Something is wrong with this World of meter stats. It is stuck right below 100,000

for days now. I don't have the past days results but I know I thought it was going past 100,000 a few days ago and now it is still at 99,805.

Does anyone know how to check?

then the beginning of the week is usually slow as well, my guess is that it is because many labs don't work on the weekend and not as many tests are processed. Then, we peak Wed/Thurs. If you look at the charts on the US breakdown page, you can see the pattern.

there has been a trend for over a month now with the reported deaths being markedly below the overall trend followed by a spike in reported deaths during the next week.

Overall the trend is doing down, but that patterns has been established - as others note just seems that not all the weekend deaths get reported.
