42. And every single person has a phone? And how exactly are they

doing that contact tracing, given how pitiful their testing is. 160 million tests in a nation of 1.4 billion? That's well behind almost all of the rest of the world. So if they're doing so little testing, how exactly are they keeping track of who has tested positive and who has tested negative?

I also recall reports early in the pandemic that funeral homes and the like were reporting being completely overwhelmed with the dead. Which hardly matches the incredibly small number of people who have supposedly died from Covid.

Call me cynical, but given how they lied in the first place about Covid, I don't believe their case and death numbers are accurate. Not even remotely.
