That is, if you actually trust the latest data coming out of the US, which could be a very misleading thing to do [0]

- adventured 6y agoCorrect, the data shouldn't be trusted. The US has been directly financially incentivizing the inflation of the number of Covid deaths, so the real figures are likely lower.
- partiallypro 6y agoI do trust the latest data coming out of the US. Why wouldn't I? Even if the CDC no longer counts cases (which I think this was reversed) you'd have to say thousands upon thousands of nurses/doctors/hospitals were all lying and pro-Trump, which is conspiratorial nonsense. Case counts in every country are likely under-counted, but the death rates relative to counted cases is likely very accurate.
