31. How will we know if there's a spike in actual infections? There's going to be that much

testing? But hasn't the WH, CDC, and task force moved on from virus to economy?

And even if there's testing, will there be accurate reporting? We know Florida isn't reporting accurately. We know Trump feels China and Russia are under-reporting so why not him?

Too much, I'm reminded of the movie Three Days of the Condor in which the final line of the movie is 'how do you know they'll print it?' Meaning earth-shattering news that doesn't get reported doesn't exist.
