Donald Trump kicked off his Sunday morning by launching a full scale attack on the Centers for Disease Control, calling their reporting on COVID-19 infections and deaths "Fake News!."
As the coronavirus death toll climbs and most states are seeing surges in infections, the outgoing president lashed out at CDC officials for reporting on the numbers to the public.
"The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov 's ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. "When in doubt, call it Covid." Fake News!" he tweeted.

(70,559 posts)"And so many people are oblivious to what is really happening." To me they are not oblivious
but in a Fox News fed deep denial of reality. In OH something like 60% of the nursing home
workers are now saying they will not take the C-19 vaccine. My attitude is fine don't take the
shot and don't come to work anymore either.
The insanity of the times we're living in is incomprehensible at times.

We still see people insisting on going to eat onsite at restaurants and you have judges relying on the Supreme Court case to keep places like strip clubs open.
