The data is worthless. All of it. Every country, state, county, city, hospital, etc has their own criteria, plus political pressures. You can't just throw dissimilar numbers at each other.
Additionally, CDC moved away from requiring positive COVID tests and mixes "probable" (which is a very vague criteria) with positive. On top of that, they are mixing antibody and PCR tests, calling positives on them the exact same.
Not to mention that the numbers can be wildly influenced by undertiminable factors. Because we didn't shut down everything which leaves the burden of quarantining on unchecked people to not go into grocery stores and the few still crowded places.

All this started early June.
