The blivet setting ethical standards for the GOP
President Donald Trump believes that the coronavirus death toll is being exaggerated, Axios reported Wednesday…The news site further quoted two anonymous senior administration officials as speculating that hospitals might be misdiagnosing patients with the novel coronavirus to get extra money from Medicare.

Coroners have even been asking for test kits to get more accurate coronavirus numbers on the dead.
But, then, no one in the Trump Mafia is “expert” in anything other than stealing from the public till.
