Corvid19 "News"

     I have heard comments from people in Montgomery online and in-person: the government is lying. Deaths caused by car accidents etc are being listed as caused by Covid19. I have no idea what source these folks have for news.
     Let me point them to a N.Y. Times report this morning:

"Total deaths in seven states that have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic are nearly 50 percent higher than normal for the five weeks from March 8 through April 11, according to new death statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is 9,000 more deaths than were reported as of April 11 in official counts of deaths from the coronavirus.

The new data is partial and most likely undercounts the recent death toll significantly. But it still illustrates how the coronavirus is causing a surge in deaths in the places it has struck, probably killing more people than the reported statistics capture. These increases belie arguments that the virus is only killing people who would have died anyway from other causes. Instead, the virus has brought a pattern of deaths unlike anything seen in recent years."

     Now if you listen to the White House, or less believable media than The Times, you'll probably continue to think a) the Media is lying and b) The Government is lying.  
OK--Here's the morning's FOX News report.
