#2 It's kind of diabolical. Spike the numbers with more testing with a 30% false positive rate and by counting any sniffle as a 'probable' case. At the same time mandate masks. When the disaster fails to materialize, credit the masks -- even though a cloth mask is completely worthless.

#12 Here's a hearsay account from the Web: "I’m in Utah. A friend of my wife told her that she and her husband signed up to get the Covid-19 test. The line at the testing facility was so long, they gave up and went home. They got a call two days later from the testing facility saying that they tested positive for Covid-19.—they never had the test. Another friend had the swab test. Her mouth was swabbed four times and was counted as four tests."

Ripley's Believe it or Not.

#13 ..and these same authorities believe that we'll buy their math in the November vote. Integrity in the count whether its covid reporting or voting returns is approaching zero. A zero trust society doesn't work well.
