What is your expectation of yoy (3q19-3q20) contraction?

Well, Using your method of " Not cherry picking, just using the most recent data available", pretty good.

But more seriously, IDK since the stimulus didn't come through and the election could change things drastically for q4.

Regardless q3 will be an impressive bounce back up.

Look what I found:

"EMBARGOED UNTIL RELEASE AT 8:30 A.M. EDT, Thursday, October 29, 2020"

"Current‑dollar GDP increased 38.0 percent, or $1.64 trillion, in the third quarter to a level of $21.16 trillion. In the second quarter, GDP decreased 32.8 percent, or $2.04 trillion (tables 1 and 3)"

Note how percentages work. If you lose a certain %, then you need a larger percent to regain what was lost.
