I think he's saying in terms of case reporting as well as things like


hospitalizations and deaths there's a lag. You wouldn't expect to see a gigantic spike the next day or anything. Some people might feel bad the next day but not get tested until Tuesday (b/c of Monday being a holiday). And it can take a few days before you really start even feeling bad. So any spikes (regardless of source) are going to appear several days/weeks from when the people were actually infected. And then since most people don't die right away you'll see hospitalizations and deaths rise after the cases spike. And then you have to factor in the reporting and such which has its own constraints. So it's really a combination of the nature of the virus and the aggregation of the data.
