The Great Covid Con
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my fear that, in the face of an uncontrollable epidemic, Donald Trump, with the full cooperation of Republican run States, would simply resort to massive lying about the true death toll. Calculating the deaths from an epidemic is a fairly complicated process that not very many people know a thing about, and a lie is so easy to tell, particularly given the extreme unlikelihood of our pathetic excuse for a mainstream press doing a thing to arrive at the real numbers. Here, even intelligent and highly informed people at Talking Points Memo seem to have accepted numbers from Republicans; God, shouldn’t they know by now not to do that?
