        Really no more obvious prediction than "at some point Trump is going to lie and say the coronavirus death toll is much lower than it actually is."

        Gonna be a lot of "just because all the deceased HAD coronavirus doesn't mean the cause of death WAS coronavirus" chin-scratching.

        And away we go. Here's Brit Hume, a key founder of Fox's "straight news" division, arguing last night that "NY's Covid 19 fatality numbers are inflated." He bases this on a Twitter thread from someone whose bio reads in part, "Investor. Extreme salesman."pic.twitter.com/ACHAnTtHHo

        Apparently covid fatalities should only be counted if they occur in otherwise completely healthy people. Very convenient. And I guess the whole "NY hospitals storing bodies in refrigerated trucks" thing is unrelated to the virus.

        The real-world problem with covid fatality counts in Spain and Italy seems to be undercounts, in part because the medical system is overwhelmed.https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/hidden-mortality-in-spain …
