Why are we stopping covid-19 daily updates?

https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/coronavirus/state-transitions-to-weekly-covid-19-data-reports

I have checked worldometer daily since this has started and it has useful information, even breaking it down to the counties. Thankfully things are much better now and our numbers are much lower, but we have consistently been having the highest number of new cases Nationwide nearly every day for the past several weeks so why are we stopping the reporting?

Then it just quit without any explanation. Now I get my stats from Rebekah Jones' site.
She is the whistle blower who developed the site for the State of Florida.
DeSatan fired her and tried to get her prosecuted for not fudging the numbers.

Originally I had gone to her website on occasion, but somehow lost it along the way and I wasn't sure she was even doing it's since her arrest. I actually just read a news story about her being kicked off one of the social media sites.

Unfortunately, even something as important as life and death or severe illness won't keep our politicians from playing their games. Just sad!
