The Twit tweets: For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries

I’ve noticed that about rich white dudes. Well, rich businessmen, anyway, and all the rich businessmen I’ve known or met are rich white dudes.

Anyway, they seem (or tend?) to think more money equals more intelligence.

To them money = intellect. Which only proves to the intelligent just how fucking stupid and arrogant they are.

that it's better to remain silent and let people think we're dumb than to open our mouths and remove all doubt. No one ever gave the Con this advice. He is ignorant and proud.

the ICUs are filling up, at or near capacity in these areas. This has nothing to do with testing, it has to do with the number of people infected.

I feel like that is the 1/100th time I have pointed that out.

People who have Covid, would still have Covid with or with out the test. The test only confirms it.

How does he explain the death count ...

Imagine how much worse the death rate would be if we had no idea where and how big outbreaks were?
