Jesus is having an effect, numbers in a lot of countries are taking a dive for Good Friday, resulting in much lower Saturday numbers. The effect might last all weekend including Easter Monday. Both reported cases and reported deaths are down in a lot of places. Not that the virus takes a break of course, but the people testing and reporting can desperately use a break.

More like: nobody's there to count the victims and report the numbers. Like every weekend, just stronger.

Yep. We'll likely see a larger uptick than usual mid next week in both reported cases and reported deaths. Then at the end of the week perhaps a small uptick from less people sticking to social distancing for Easter and in 2.5 weeks a small uptick in reported deaths. The Easter effect.
