On May 21, 2020, the Atlantic reported that the CDC was over counting the number of cases of individuals with the China coronavirus: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.

This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.

NOTE: The Atlantic is a far left publication!

It's all been a fraud!

@MrBrownstone I saw that one already, looked it up and what actually happened is if you scroll down on the one on the right is about someone else, and then they include a picture of the kid with the description "this other kid died too, elsewhere". But there is a lot of shadiness.
