I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. No
matter what specific scenarios (such as above) you may come up with,
I remain unconvinced that there is much benefit resuklting from the
CDC attempting to continuously update data for countries other than
the US - since, for most people and most purposes, waiting for up to
a few hours for the next 'daily figures' is likely to be
'adequate'/'acceptable'.
Kind Regards,
John
