They're not hiding bodies, so the excess fatality rate would reveal any lies they're telling.

Deaths from COVID-19 can take weeks from the initial infection. I'm not disputing or supporting anything else in this thread, but "there aren't a lot of extra deaths" doesn't really offer much data either way. Maybe in a few weeks.

Texas has only been re-opened for a couple of weeks, so I don't know what you're talking about. If you're talking about the epidemic more generally: the virus has killed nearly 90,000 Americans in less than eight weeks, so it's not like it's let anyone down in the 'killing loads of people in a short period of time' department.
