On the first graph, that last label makes me distrust the entire article.

Can you clarify which graph and which label? The first graph I see is the number of new cases in Ireland over the past year, and I don't see any labels that seem suspicious.

What about it? The fact that it says January 2 while the caption says it's through January 7? I'm assuming that's just because the labels are generated at 11 day increments and Jan 7 isn't 11 days away from the 2nd.

It says 2020 instead of 2021.

The final label on the x-axis says January 2, 2020 instead of 2021. I assume the GP was being partly facetious

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah, that's definitely strange. A bug in the graphing software, maybe?
