So the basis for knowing what they don't know and is not reported is by way of..........Saruman's palantír??

I am annoyed at the sensationalization of the reports and how the stats are twisted to reach the "Max alarm" factor... Can't help but believe that the politicization of everything makes it all so much bullshit...

Yes, Delaware experienced a 507% increase in their death rate compared to last week... (79 versus 13). What does that really mean?

Other states have seen 97% increases in deaths but are only slightly above the historical norms.

Statistics lie So do "experts"...

Box,

What is the CDC corollary to the "General at War" rules???

More death, more complexity = more funds.

As Abe Lincoln said, don't believe everything you read on the internet.
