Again, a lie. Hospitalizations are rising, setting records in some states. The test positivity rate is rising. And, after the usual lag from a spike in cases, deaths have started to rise too.

The crisis is getting worse, and there’s nothing fake about it.

And here’s the president’s coronavirus advisor, who is not an expert in the subject of infectious diseases, joining Trump in ignoring the rising numbers for hospitalizations, test positivity and deaths and telling Trump his egregious deception is “spot on.”

How can he not realize that it applies directly to Pumpkinhead and his continued non-response and attempts to downplay this ballooning disaster?

My own cousin, yesterday, posted on FB:

How do we know what the actual count is? Do hospitals call somewhere and say "I've got a hot one here!" How do we know it's not all fake news?

I posted a link to CDC appropriate section on information gathering and reporting.

Now I see this. About 40 percent of the country questions the validity of the info on the virus because the PRESIDENT is lying to them.
