The "dip" people are talking about in pneumonia cases is caused by the lag in reporting of deaths through the CDC.
Here is a chart of every CDC pneumonia report over time.
There is always a dip.

The CDC& #39;s technical notes for COVID reporting are absolutely fabulous. They clear up a lot of misconceptions about what is tracked and how.
You can find them at the bottom of this page (worth the 5 minute read).

I know there& #39;s a problem where things jump around in this animation. I originally thought it was just messy data, but I believe now this is caused by my misinterpretation of the CDC’s URI schema.
The CDC appears to use a flu season for their year which is approx. Oct of one year to Sept of the next and I inferred they were using a calendar year (Jan – Dec).
