Will Republican governors try to hide the number of people infected in their states.

14. That's true for Italy.

And NY.

Some are caught. Some aren't.

A week or so ago a woman who died was autopsied. Seeing respiratory distress was cause of death, COVID tested. And was recategorized.

Some of the test disparity is attributed to malice and not facts. NYS has had 300k tests, according to the covid tracking project. Texas, 70k.

Some might be to reporting differences (not all labs report, not all states report negatives). But also remember there was a fixed number of test kits available and Cuomo was loudly demanding that test kits get shunted to NY. When testing was ramping up a couple of weeks ago, it ramped up first there and ramped up more there. The more NY got, the less there were for everybody else. Cuomo (and others) insisted not sending them all to NY was unfair.

That's not Texas' or North Dakota's fault.
