Reports of infected and dead are slowly disappearing.

I haven't seen a report of infected and dead numbers in my state for several days. At first I didn't notice any change in reporting, but slowly the reports are going away. Looks like Mission Accomplished.

information was transferred to Trumps goons before it starts to magically disappear - just like he said it would.

Several aggregators get data directly, not through government, at the county level.
Worldometer, Johns-Hopkins, NIH, and others.
They update the data, at least once a day.
Getting it directly, there's nothing the white house gang can do to prevent get accurate numbers out there.

Snip

Texas is apparently not reporting a number of its cases; Mississippi is so overwhelmed officials don’t actually know what the numbers are, but they are storing bodies in refrigerated storage units.

7. Simple minded Trump is in for a surprise.

He thinks that lower or missing case and death numbers will automatically return all the support he has lost due to his bungling of the crisis from day one. He is still spewing nonsense that people saw through in February. There are no brownie points for killing fewer people than you did before.

Texas. Every day in San Antonio, the top headline is the city/county daily briefing. Plus multiple stories about deaths, infections, and hospital capacity through the state.

9. And yet, I see mass ignorance of mask protocol.

I'm a musician. I played at a grad party Saturday where I was the ONLY one wearing a mask, including band members. 40 - 50 people. Food was catered and everyone used the same serving utensils. I wouldn't eat and sat by myself on the breaks.

10. Not ignorance, politics.

They know better. They pretend they don’t. They try to spread misinformation and propaganda like an overfed rat pooping. It’s all their politics and delusion that they, themselves, will of course be spared because gawd will protect them.

We had to learn 3 Christian rock songs. Actually really good songs. I got some looks for wearing a mask. Tough shit.
