So Indiana has had a total of 2592 deaths (pumped up?). Subtract out the nursing home deaths and you get 1347 pumped up deaths.
Divide that by the Indiana population of 6.7 million and you get .0002 of our population has died from Covid-19. How many of those had underlying health issues or died from other causes and were counted Covid deaths for funding or political reasons?
Why no masks at the worst week of this CDC chart and only now at the best week?
