Democratic propaganda

It’s apparent that local officials are using the COVID-19 threat to impose ever increasing restriction on the public, using the increased reported cases to justify their actions. The increase in reported cases is largely due the increase in testing. How many of these test are false positive? Have the restriction done anything to slow the spread of Covid-19? The main purpose of the restrictions is to make the public aware of the Covid-19 problem and has little or no effect on curbing the spread of the virus.

I have seen no recent reports on Covid-19 from China, where it originated.

The Democratic Party and their propaganda machine AKA news media are continuing their six year assault of negative press releases about President Trump. One must wonder how much is fact and how much is pure imagination. Joe Biden has only parroting the “Party Line” put out by the Democratic Party leaders.
