It's clear Trump and certain Republican-led states are trying to hide the true COVID-19 death toll

Florida's numbers are a joke and strain credulity.

20 deaths in all of Florida in a day?

On Florida’s first day of reopening, the state reports 20 new coronavirus deaths

We already know they've been caught trying to suppress the true numbers....

Florida medical examiners were releasing coronavirus death data. The state made them stop.

The real numbers are considerably worse but Trump won't want people to know until after the election

because he didn't want "the numbers" to hurt his reelection campaign. That is what this whole mess is about.

republican county. Sedgwick County, the Wichita area in Kansas. I've been noticing on an area weather site
where they also post a Covid update there have only been 3 reported deaths and 300 or so cases reported
and this hasn't changed in a couple of weeks. This small metro area still has a population of over 500.000 or
more...just seems odd. Good if accurate but with the thugs running everything, I kind of doubt it....
