So you think that the incrased heart attack numbers on Monday are reported as corona deaths?
I guess that there would be studies showing why there are more heart attacks on Mondays. I am not willing to believe that this is "by nature"; it must be a cultural phenomenon. So what is it, in our culture, that causes more heart attacks on Mondays? I guess that deserves some investigation!

Right now, it might have got better, but some years ago in spain, you would have got the deads of the weekend more or less on thrusday...
Functionaries / Burocrats are /were (at least there are / were A LOT OF) laziest, most inconsiderate and reckless people you could find.

Are you saying that they would report, on Thursday, that deaths occuring though the weekend would be reported as as occuring on the following Thursday (or maybe Wednesday night), even to the dependants? Could the officil date of death be off by 3-5 days from the actual day of death? Or are you just talking about the speed of reporting the death?
If you are really are talking about the official time of death, that could have essential importance for how the wealth of the deceased one(s) are distributed among the inheritants. Inheritance laws differ enormously from country to country, and on whether the deceased has written a will or not. Around here, if my former wife and daughter both dies, it is very significant if my former wife dies before or after my daughter, as long as my daughter has written no will. If my daughter dies first, half of her assets go to my former wife. If my wife is dead when my daughter dies, all her assets will go to me. (Unless she has written a will - but a written will is still has as limited freedom).

I was saying that they are so lazy and so bad organized that the deaths of the weekend (it might be even the previous weekend) get reported on thursday (meaning really delayed).
In other words, just saying that "no fvck sherlock" to your "during the weekends there are lower statistics" because the burocrats are not there. The official reports are not depending on the hospitals. Hospitals only certified the death of a person, the rest is done by burocrats on monday (or tuesday, or following week or next month... depending on which country you are).

Would they then report the deaths occuring on Saturday/Sunday as Thursday deaths, or would they report them as Saturday/Sunday deaths, but reported a few days later?

I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me that they did it wrong.

That's been true since day one. Nearly every day there is a new article about misreporting the deaths. Just last week was a report about gun shot victims being included in the numbers. People want to make this thing out to be worse than it is so everyone dying is getting lumped into the numbers.
It's a sham.

And there are those who need to defend the claim that it will go away by Easter time. Or when the summer heat flows in.
We don't know which side is the strongest one in influencing the numbers. But I'd say that it is more dangerous to force the estimates too low down, pretending that the spreading is a lot less than it is in reality, rather than the opposite, urging us to be more careful than strictly necessary.
Maybe some countries will experience a second wave while others won't. I suspect that there will be more second waves in countries where the common attitude is that there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing but a sham.

But no one, as far as I can tell, has ever done that.

I see a pattern with you. An illogical one, but still a pattern.

It's almost impossible for any politician to act dumber than he actually is. Very few of them could achieve it unless heavily sedated or comatose, which would cause confusion by markedly improving their actions.

You should've mentioned who's who.

I think you could have shortened this to
"They both act dumb because they are"
The only difference is one has a very small "this is a dumb statement to make" filter installed.
