Yep. Trump too. And the clock is ticking. All they care about is keeping the confirmed case numbers as low as possible until election day. Getting caught after that will be harder and is irrelevant to them. https://twitter.com/Amy_Siskind/status/1253742040963256321
The main thing Trump desperately wants is to have widely differing death tallies so he can play his fake news game. A low "official" count only of those who tested positive, probably only before they died, vs all the modeling that will be more accurate and far higher.
The thousands of undiagnosed at-home deaths, the otherwise inexplicable jumps in pneumonia deaths and mortality we are already seeing and know must be Covid-19. Trump will try to discard those and then we’ll see what Fauci is made of.
It will be like Trump's inauguration crowd size BS all over again, but with body bags. Tons of data and an overwhelming consensus on one side and Trump and Fox News in denial on the other side saying "who knows?"
