Dear Reader,
December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal. Please pitch in if you can right now.

Donations make up 74 percent of our budget this year, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.
“Now that we have passed the peak in new cases,” President Trump said today, “we are starting our life again. We are starting rejuvenation of our economy again.” Is this true?
The data for cases is too unreliable to bother with, so let’s look at deaths instead. My usual 6-day rolling average is a little too coarse to show much of anything, so here’s a 4-day rolling average:
Have we peaked? Tentatively, it seems like we might have. But it’s far from sure yet.
