Yeah sure….
The closer to the election and as long as COVID-19 reporting is still made financially lucrative by the Federal Government, the “cases” will soar through the roof.
It’s time the Fed doesn’t an audit to stop the fraud.
You can talk to those whom work at the major hospitals and other testing facilities and they say they get near zero traffic. Of those being tested near zero cases. Also as always cold, flu, and other symptoms called COVID with diagnosis purely guessed at shooting from the hip.
At my local CVS, when i got my Flu Shot, the pharmacist remarked they were slammed with testing. According to the Indiana State Health Dept website, the number of tests were way up. So, that shoots your “they say zero traffic” … What “they” are you talking to? I’m sure a reporter would love to check that out!
Yeah sure….Trump, Conway and the rest probably just have the flu. This CoVid thing is fake, right?
So you believe the President faked his own illness?
Please testing is not causing the numbers, illness is. Wake up Indiana.
When did Dr. Box of Rocks take over editorial control of the IBJ? Box has assured Eric Holcomb of an election loss on November 3rd. Now with these latest fear tactics, Holcomb will finish 3rd in the Governors race. Will that make everyone at IBJ happy?
How can this be when we have a mask mandate..impossible.
Simple. People like you and our President aren’t taking it seriously.
