I'm happy about the move. Not too long ago people argued that the data wasn't doctored and I had to say that it's being manipulated on an individual local level, which was definitely the case, be incompetence or malice.

But now that they streamlined the process I can just point my finger and say: "Yep, they're manipulating the data on a national level." Can't wait to see where the Republican cult members will point their fingers next, now that the evil CDC can't manipulate all of the numbers for that hoax.

Who gives a fuck?  You think China and Russia aren't fudging their numbers? C'mon man, the USA has every right to engage in disinformation

when it comes down to the Covid-19 numbers. For Christ sakes.

Great whataboutism. So is China's and Russia's autocracy that kills thousands of people the level at which we need to measure the US? And here I thought the US wants to be better than 2 shitholes that abuse human rights left and right.

So you believe that it is upon the country to decide if innocent people live or die? The US is currently engaging in tactics that is actively killing their own citizens based on nothing but selfish patriotism and partisanship and you are actually arguing that that's the way things should be? The US should be another China or Russia? I mean right now it definitely is, but would you actually consider that a good thing?

I can tell you who isn't ok with that. The innocents that are killed and people who care about keeping innocents alive. A group you apparently don't belong to.
