Whoah - if that number is in fact correct! For this thread, as well as many others of a different topic, it is a mental challenge for me to click the "like" button....I don't necessarily "like" the data / discussion, but appreciate the post contents and my "like" is really a thanks. With that said, thanks so much for the updates @Jewels53.

This seems to be the answer to the periodic sharp increases in the Missouri Covid death rate, it is caused by the way the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services collects and releases their data.

This paragraph from KSDK News explains it:

"The state also reported 177 new COVID-19-related deaths for a cumulative total of 4,006. Of those 177 new deaths, 138 were recently linked to COVID-19 through the state's weekly check of death certificates, which tends to result in a sharp increase in deaths reported on Tuesdays. Twenty-five of the 138 deaths occurred in October and 113 were in November."

This is corroborated by looking back at past reporting on previous Tuesdays. For example, on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 they show 146 deaths.

On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 they show 67 deaths.

On Tuesday, November 24, 2020 they show 189 deaths.

And today Tuesday, December 1, 2020 they show 177 deaths.

Thank you MajorHoople for sharing this article. It always seems like a jump in numbers. So when we see this jump now we know why.

It's odd the way that Missouri releases their Covid info. I've found Worldmeters to be a useful and reliable source. They show 113 new Missouri deaths for yesterday December 4, 2020.

However the total Worldmeters Missouri death toll is listed as 4,466 which is in the ball park for 4,122 that Missouri has listed through yesterday.

I wonder where they get their numbers if they don't match those put out by the state.

That's a good question and I don't know the answer.
