Johns Hopkins CSSE Covid-19 Global Case Dashboard

That just doesn’t make sense to me. Uncontained, this disease will grow exponentially until tens of millions are infected at once, and it eventually burns itself out. But by then, the disaster will be obvious and we will have the same result. Only with more casualties.

Certainly anyone who had that sort of ulterior motive would understand this.

Making sense is not a priority for this administration.

I predict Trump administration will underreport the numbers and use the courts to hold up transparency reports and audits until after the election.

They’re already refusing to test people, and I’m guessing they’ll start to blame the flu and/or fake news at some point.

They’ll probably somehow exceed my expectations, and come up with even more cynical tactics than this. For instance, I’ve seen users in other forums blame liberal china lovers for bringing the disease to the US. I wonder if they’re paid trolls or not.
