COVID-19 Records

Coverage

Where the record speaks, and where it is silent. In this corpus document density runs opposite to importance — the busiest months are retrospective argument, and the decisive weeks are nearly empty. Any view that ranks by volume points away from the evidence that matters.

A blank cell means one of two very different things: the package covers that month and produced nothing, or the package never covered that month at all. Cells outside a package's own date range are struck through to keep those apart. Absence inside a covered window is a question; absence outside one is not.

Reading this honestly

The private chat export begins 2020-04-30, so it is struck through before that — it is not evidence of silence in January or February. The packages built from one custodian's mailbox can only speak to what that person sent and received; the four scientists who wrote the origins paper are not custodians here at all, which is why their correspondence is absent rather than missing.
