From The Guardian:
Faced with an appalling US coronavirus death toll, the right denies the figuresOn local wingnut social media suddenly "everyone knows" that the COVID19 death count is being wildly inflated because "everyone knows" that when doctors and hospitals falsify death certificates to blame every death on COVID19 they get a big, fat Liberal gummint check to make Trump look bad.
Fox News is foremost in promoting the idea that official figures are inflated, whereas experts believe more people have died
As Donald Trump agitates for the US to reopen, the American right appears to have found a novel way to deal with the rising coronavirus death toll: deny it altogether.
Top Trump officials, huddled in the White House, itself the subject of a coronavirus outbreak, have according to reports begun questioning the number of deaths – and the president is among the skeptics.
It’s a handy thought process for an administration desperate to send Americans back to work even as deaths from the virus rise each day, with marked surges in some traditionally Republican states.
Trump is said to be coming round to the idea, pushed in the rightwing media for weeks, that hospitals, coroners and medical professionals across the US have been mislabelling deaths...
These really are the mole people.
Tip Jar.

It's false flags all the way down! Those Soros bux don't come easy, you know...
Man, it has been obvious for weeks that this is what is going to happen. When the numbers become intolerable, they will just lie about the numbers. And every single one of their "base" will believe it.
I am having some difficulty observing the right wing world.
Scare grown men hide behind their guns to protest the usurping of their Liberty to spread a pandemic. Well not so much if their Governor is of the GOP variety.
It is tyranny to have life preserving restrictions in a pandemic without a vaccine that ihas claimed over 80 thousand lives already and will continue to keep doing so.
Open everything up, they even are angry for the Diner who already requires shoe, pants (dress code) to be served. But now to require a mask? Freedom...!
So it is completely safe for all by their "Orders" with no precautions.
But, Convicted traitor Paul Manafort must be released from serving his prison sentence in prison. Because it is way too unsafe because of the virus hoax?
So, we're back to the Vietnam playbook: light at the end of the tunnel, lie about the body count, denigrate the critics, blame China. They've hardly had time to maximize the Iraq hit parade, with "unknown knowns" of viral spread and "greeted as liberators" by the barbers and barkeeps.
Not to mention the stab in the back.
