The totals for 'WORLD' for Jan 1st to May 31st 2023 are 14991; for Jan 1st to May 31st 2024 including Feb 29th are 15235. But that's 151 days in 2023, and 152 in 2024. So per day, that works out at a 0.96% increase from 2023 to 2024.

Still not sure where Yale CC got the "declined slightly" for the "February to May" period (inclusive - ie Feb 1st to May 31st? or something else? Excluding the January figures doesn't make much difference).
