  1. Inspired by a question from @jenniferdoleac, here are state-level COVID deaths by day of week. Eyeballing: • Pattern varies in strength (lots) and shape (less) • NJ and PA have biggest Tuesday spikes (cc: @JPVMan); NY and MA peak Wednesdays Why? 🤷‍♂️ @lukestein/1258801856706260992

      In case anyone's interested in @Stata code for downloading this data from the NYT, and the visualization (caution: not pretty, not production code; largely cobbled together from fragments I already had for other purposes), here it is: gist.github.com/lukestein/ca4a589c0ffdcdf69129f8a7ab9eb3ba

        There's this one too, which is very hard to read but may interest someone. Blue are all weeks since 3/14 except orange is the current week. Grey are the averages from 4/4 through yesterday.
