From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Once again, the state data on current COVID-19 hospitalizations is unstable. CA, SC, and TX have all posted notices stating their hosp. data is incomplete because of the HHS changeover. Weve maintained the freeze on their hospitalization data again. More on that tomorrow. -

From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Hospitalizations fell a bit again. CA and TX (and maybe other states) are still not getting complete data due to the HHS changeover. Weve frozen the CA and TX figures for now and will reevaluate tomorrow. Were hoping the CDC-HHS changeover issues get cleared up this week. -

"Sunday is under-count day" One of the things that often gets mentioned by coronavirus public information projects [1][2] is that certain days of the week are â**under-reportingâ** days.

"A Run in the Heat (C 86)" When I step outside, itâ**s 81F and humid. 10am on a Sunday morning in July in Texas is brutal. It doesnâ**t matter to me.

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: The Higgs boson discovery was made by two experiments at CERN - ATLAS and CMS. It confirmed the theory of how particles acquire mass and led to the #NobelPrize for theoretical physicists Francois Englert and Peter Higgs.
