COVID 19. We are watching the Rachel Maddow Show and Nebraskas information concealment. It struck that she is correct. The ONLY way we get a handle on this nightmare is through accurate information, especially to the professionals.
But, in Nebraska, if you dont admit to covid 19 exists then its party time all around. What? There is nothing to see here, come on down and swim in the newly opened covid pool.
The concept of government concealment of public health data is, in a sense, a betrayal, a form of treason, to the citizens to which it is responsible. The very same who these politicians would seek votes at some future date.
The trumpistas set the standard when they refused to acknowledge that a problem was occurring as early as January. They have clung to that scenario ever after. There is no one behind the curtain , no wicked witch, no red slippers and definitely no virus.
We have one million plus survivors and almost eighty thousand dead who would disagree.
The governments have NO right or authority to conceal the statics and truth about this threat to every American.

(26,044 posts)Today, for the first time in several months, the CDC failed to put out an updated set of figures for cases and deaths.

Don't see any deaths listed for today. Could be a clerical issue or just no deaths. It's not like the reported numbers are huge. I'm not sure there was a death reported in NE for 5/4, either. Small numbers, randomness.
