So what do you bet that the Covid-19 threat begins to decrease in a few days...

[Kablooie]

And in Florida will decrease so quickly that the RNC convention will restore it's full roster of events and attendees?

Looks like Trump is making sure that Covid-19 magically disappears exactly like he said it would by taking management of the pandemic data away from the Center for Disease Control and giving it to one of his donors to manage.

1. Let them pretend

[patricia92243]

2. Trump said it would disappear like magic. Now it will. ALso,

Trump will be able to brag about how he saved the nation, etc. It will disappear within two weeks, but the real hard-core bragging will be right before the election.

Between that and voting made almost impossible for a lot of people, we will be very, very lucky to win the election.

3. They can't hide the dead bodied. People won't be fooled.

4. +1

[davekriss]

10. I disagree, many MAGA will be fooled

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. I'd cheer for an RNC that is fully attended, no masks,

no social distancing.

I only feel for the health care workers who will be even more overwhelmed than they already are.

6. Does Florida have a state dashboard?

Where they post the information on current cases? Most states do, as do many large cities.

These are where sites like Worldometer and John Hopkins collect their data from anyway, not the CDC.

I checked and they do have a state dashboard: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429

7. They're setting it up to cook the books going into the fall...

[Brainfodder]

8. What next? Banning obituaries? Banning the internet?

What a pack of ignorant fools.

Nuremberg 2.0 will be interesting?

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. Epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University have been collecting data directly from the states.

[bigtree]

11. states aren't barred from reporting numbers

...and several independent orgs collect that data.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Nope, For 2 Reasons

First, there's nothing to stop hospitals, whose medical records are already routed to CDC, to send them there anyway.
They are still sending other data, so it's unlikely they will reprogram their systems to just filter out COVID data.
PINO saying not to send it to CDC, doesn't mean they'll pay attention.
Second, all that info goes to insurance companies. They're not going to accept "this person sick from something" for health claims or "this person died, we don't know why" on life insurance claims.
The information is going to be out there, no matter what the imbecile wants.

[Kablooie]

15. But Trump will tout the WH database as the most reliable...

and Fox News and other right wing propaganda media will support his claim and only report what Trump's database says.

It's going to confuse things even more and fool his fools into worshiping his leadership skills more than ever.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. 25% Of Voters

He uses his "scrubbed" numbers, and all other media and analysts will have the real numbers.
And those fools already think this is fake.
He already bamboozled them. You can't bamboozle them further.
And, the insurance company financial statements issued monthly (short form) and quarterly (full report) will provide evidence of actual case load and death.
Easy to refute, and that 25% aren't relevant.

[lpbk2713]

13. In a way, I'd like to see that happen.

It would be a good way of thinning the Trumpbot herd.

But it wouldn't be good for the people of Jax. So for that reason I wouldn't want that to happen.

[GoCubsGo]

14. It's going to be really hard to hide all those bodies.

They are way beyond deluded if they think we don't see what they're doing. Nobody, other than Trump's cult, is going to trust the numbers coming out of HHS. Good thing John Hopkins and others are also being given the numbers, so we'll have accurate reports.

[LisaL]

17. Exactly.

They will have to buy a lot of refrigerated trucks to store all the bodies. Nobody is going to notice?

[Demsrule86]

18. Not going to work.
