Secret State of Illinois Chinese Virus lists and it is not front page news?
Hmmmm…
i ask myself why. Why the secrecy? There must be a reason.
Apprently like most everyth the Dems touch they are fake news and false numbers.
Yes, there is a virus but about 98% of people recover. But cases and numbers and active cases are all just that numbers. Yes many people are in the hospital but not just because of C-19 the numbers for hospital beds occupied are for all medical cases and events –NOT JUST C-19.
