2/19 Early on in March, while the numbers in some countries were under-reported due to them being overwhelmed, U.S. intelligence accused China of intentionally under-reporting its total coronavirus cases and deaths.
What country would do such a thing?

3/19 It turns out we would.
Even as we accused China of doing so, the coronavirus was spreading through U.S. military overseas, and the Pentagon ordered installations to stop reporting coronavirus cases.

4/19 Trump also said he wanted to keep Grand Princess cruise passengers on the ship so that US coronavirus numbers don't 'double.'
It wasn't about stopping the spread. It was the appearance.

5/19 The Trump regime soon embraced this tactic wholesale.
On April 15 we learned the CDC's National Vital Statistics System rddered deaths of confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients to not be reported with that disease as the immediate cause of death. salon.com/2020/04/21/can…

6/19 Certain states, mainly red states working to stay in Trump's good graces, ran with this order.

7/19 Florida, planning to be one of the first to re-open, used a variety of methods to cook the books, from leaving snowbirds off the records to not recording deaths of those who died from underlying issues exasperated by COVID-19.

9/19 The Florida cover-up has been one of the most pervasive and thorough; only within the last few days we learned that its chief data scientist, Rebekah Jones, was sidelined so Florida could tweak numers to get their grand re-opening.

10/19 Corporations have been engaging in this also, with the blessing of state goverments.
Infection rates were climbing at Nebraska meatpacking plants.
Then health officials stopped reporting the numbers & would’t say which plants have outbreaks.

11/19 This same issue has played out in communities hosting meatpacking plants and other major factories across the country, such as Iowa, where state government has blocked county and city governments from getting proper information.

13/19 The "error" was at least the third in as many weeks, and was used in yet another effort to downplay numbers and re-open a state government despite evidence showing the pandemic is getting worse there.
14/19 Dr. Fauci, during his testimony to congress, stated that the U.S. Death Toll is most definitely much higher than reported.
He was speaking in part of unreported deaths from private nursing homes, people dying at home, and other such situations... npr.org/sections/goats…

15/19 ...but surely had to be aware that active under-reporting by state and federal agencies to prioritize the economy over lives is playing a major role in this.

16/19 From the start, Trump has openly stated he the position that NOT knowing the real numbers is better, because it means he's keeping the numbers down. This, of course, is nonsense.
But it explains why he also regularly discounts testing. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

17/19 In fact, when VP aide Katie Miller tested positive, Trump expressed surprise because she was such a good person, distanced himself from her, and then used her case as a reason why testing doesn't work and we should just wait for it to all "go away"... but get back to work.
18/19 Trump doesn't care our loved ones' deaths or our pain and suffering or reality.
This is why Trump is still pushing to end the ACA in the middle of this pandemic, against the advice of his own people, who recognize this is a political disaster.

And so he and his followers will bury the facts right alongside Americans.

Obvious typo, "Georgia." Apologies, I am not at my best the past week or so with extreme allergies muddling my head and miss things.
The CDC is conflating viral & antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies.
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, & other states are doing the same.

And still red states seek to hide the numbers, with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds & a top IDPH official openly stating they will only acknowledge outbreaks at meat packing plants in #Iowa if asked about it and STILL will not voluntarily post that info publicly.
