Rightwingers still pushing that covid is a hoax..........

We all knew this was coming........ that as the total predicted deaths falls as a result of stay at home orders, right wingers would be incapable of understanding the "cause and effect" of the situation. So as the death predictions drop, they take it as a sign that there was never really a crisis, not that measures taken to reduce the number of deaths are exactly WHY the amount of deaths are dropping.

They can gather together all they want. It might mean we have to practice
social distancing a little longer but I think it's a fair trade off.

Let's be glad and celebrate not living in a delusional bias that filters life, reality and others that way.

It's they who will discover just how powerful the hoax is when they or their friends and relatives succumb to it. Ah, they can call it a curse, if they like, as is found on some tombs.

What a tombstone that would make: "I still think it was a democrat hoax!"

.. the red states are just starting to get clobbered.
What's the difference between state governors who act and governors who don't?
Washington state - Dem governor Inslee - is projected to have 700 Covid deaths... 8 million population. And, if you remember, WA was an early epicenter.
Georgia - Repub governor Kemp - is projected to have 2,630 Covid deaths... 4 million population.
IHME projections are just that... projections. But the way the different states confront this virus can make huge differences. The projections can go UP as easily as down, when all the factors are considered.

I've even seen some go as far as say the death count is a hoax. That the number who've died from it is much lower than what's being reported.

They could not handle the truth. No need to panic them or create chaos.

After all, it was "prophesized".
