    Infections have dropped to an apparent lower daily number of cases because people now have to pay to have a test ; the government grant to cover cost of tests has been removed (the removal of grant is according to another thread). Poorer people who suspect that they have the virus will not pay for a test --> apparent daily positive cases will drop. What can't be hidden at the moment is number of deaths; no doubt this number will be falsified as election date approaches

    Wait. In a pandemic that has crippled our economy and killed (going on) 200,000 people and the government withdrew grants for Covid testing?

    Jesus.

    What does a test cost??

    Well lets look at an extreme example.
    The average age in Uganda is 15. Not a lot of sick old people being kept alive there. Average age in America is 40.We keep sick old people above ground.
    Oh and don't try to compare average age of death to average age. Two entirely different metrics.

    What choice does he have. He's so far up sh*t creek he'd need the entire Army Corp of Engineers to get out.
