I kind of assumed people were aware of events since 26 March. For instance, on 26 March, 3.3m weekly unemployment reports was by far the largest ever reported.

I also suspect some of that type of reporting may lag, and if a ceo or finance team orders it to be shown daily, may be surprised at what a week or two of reporting lag does in the time of the aforementioned events.
