“We have heard several speeches this morning about the COVID epidemic. Like a lot of Americans, every day, I like to get up and see whether we are moving in the right direction or not. I was sad to see this morning--I checked the Worldometer's website because a lot of my constituents tell me that is the one to check, and I was sad to see that, this morning, when they gave the number of deaths yesterday, on Tuesday, they list 764 Americans who had passed away. However, the Worldometer website kind of goes up and down by the day. It is always very low on Sunday and Saturday. It gets higher on Wednesday and Thursday. However, I did notice that the 764 deaths yesterday, on Tuesday, was the lowest on a Tuesday since March 23. Mondays are always very low. We had 366 deaths on Monday. That was also the lowest since March. Mr. Speaker, I hope that we continue to have the progress as we work the number of people who die of this horrible disease down every day, but I have a feeling that a lot of Americans are being misled. So I am just pointing out the way these statistics are going. ____________________”
