Since I remembered other online reports of this, I decided to post it on FB this morning in an effort to say that it seems this is really happening. With seconds I got a nasty reply saying in a round about way I was lying. I had a glut of emotions. How would you respond or not, to this?

All three left without being tested. 3 days later they received their positive test results in the mail. The numbers are completely unreliable. Oh, and the CDC has REDUCED their number of COVID deaths. They removed the people that died of other causes, such as car crash, but tested positive post mortem and they are now separating "regular" flu deaths from the COVID numbers. Appears until now, just about any death has been coded as COVID. With the changes, it proves the death rate is now almost exactly the same as the normal flu, but you won't hear that in most media.
The death rate in the US has been steadily declining, we are almost to a rate that no longer qualifies as a "pandemic". They say "follow the science", but it seems some science is more equal than others.

I have heard the same story from my daughter in New England and a friend in Michigan neither of them talk this is all I can find on internet. Anything is possible with text message notification. Questions should always be followed with who what when and wear. Hearing from a friend of a friend is always questionable.
