We keep hearing 9 cases here 6 case there but...

We also hear that they are testing only 10 people here and 7 people there.
It sounds like we only have a few cases but don't be surprised when we learn they under counted by seEveral thousand.

Trump seems to think he can bamboozle everyone by constantly saying it's not bad and preventing accurate numbers from being known.
Will it work for him?
I wouldn't be surprised. His followers will praise Trump as their great protector at their family members funerals.

and now the testing is a big joke and many cases are just going untested as the test kits have not been coming. So the exponential growth is well under way and a complete unknown at this moment. Hospitals are swamp at this moment
