    1. Steve you are linking to a home video recording of a “doctor” speaking at a rally? Do better my man.

  1. How are we doing in Indiana? Where is the reporting, accountability regarding the standard? Should we be re-opening as we are? More or less? The standard listed above: “guidelines from the Trump administration say that before states begin reopening, they should see a 14-day downward trend in infections.” I’ve been posting this on IBJ for 3 days now.

  2. Gee, funny how this story on numbers getting skewed to the good is getting so much run today, I have seen it in various forms three times now. But, a month ago, when many states (including Indiana) and the federal government started adding “presumptive deaths” to the Covid-19 counts, nobody asked why the numbers were being skewed to the bad then, wonder why!? Direct quote from above: Georgia state Rep. Jasmine Clark, a Democrat with a doctorate in microbiology, said the graph was a “prime example of malfeasance.” “Sadly it feels like there’s been an attempt to make the data fit the narrative, and that’s not how data works,” she said.” Talk about fitting a narrative, where was Ms. Clark a month ago, hypocritical much!? The Covid numbers have been getting “cooked”/revised for two months now to fit whatever narrative was wanted. Just look at the CDC website where Covid deaths were REDUCED to 68,998 because there was so much misreporting. While other places are reporting over 90,000.

  3. Oh please, the death count has been artificially raised by WHO manipulating cause of death statistics. Most new cases are asymptomatic or non hospitalizations. The death count needs to be real, until it is, go back to normal.
