CDC Data Manipulation: 8/3 MMWR Report vs. 6/3 Report

This video reviews quickly the dataset found here:
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Provisional-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-S/muzy-jte6

The review takes two snapshots of the dataset and compares them.
Quick and dirty is: CDC is removing and adding, depending on the state, often hundred of deaths, 5-7 months after the fact. Whether due to misreporting at the state level (underreporting for months) or misclassification or holding for verification (CDC), a later report should not be adding or subtracting deaths in the magnitudes these reflect.

There may be plenty of reasons for this. And those caveats are used on their site.
