State totals. Just the 67,911 on 9/11 seems contrived. LiberalArkie Sep 2020 #3

I would strongly suspect they are subject to massive political pressure to lower all numbers until at least Election Day.

I don't know what the situation in AR is with Asa Hutchinson as governor.

Copied numbers from........ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
Our weekly average of reported cases is steadily going down but reported deaths remain high.
When a lot of news outlets are reporting cases on the rise and the governments reporting
shows decreases. Knowing the W.H. took over the CDC's reporting with a private company
with a non disclosure agreement, I don't trust any of their numbers!
