5. The data on the Arizona site from 11/1 forward is 169 deaths as of just a few minutes ago.

The data for the same time period on Worldometers is 501.
It's not just the start and stop points for a given day.
The interesting thing is that the total of all Covid deaths for the entire pandemic when I checked a few minutes ago was 21,643 on both sites.
The grand totals are the same, but the individual day data for the past two weeks is way out of whack.
I think Arizona is not updating their daily totals in a timely fashion. I don't know what their logic is. But, the result is that, for the casual observer, the death rate seems to be quite low when they just look at today's number on the Arizona site. It's very misleading.
