There is plenty of financial and political incentive for the numbers to be
as awful as they can almost justify them to be.
My governor publishes a report every day. The number in my county keeps
going up, never down. So the same guy who got it early and died, does he
still count? How about the ones who got it and 'recovered' ? What about
the people who tested only for the antibody? I guess they count as 'got
it', too.
Anything goes, no honesty or transparency required. And the more dead
people, the better.
