This epidemic was politicized even before it entered into our consciousness. It has been a "get Trump" ploy from the start.
I think they are cooking the books not just to blame the deaths on Trump, they are doing this. They are also cooking the books to make the CCP virus look more deadly to justify shutting down the economy and then blame the bad economy on Trump. It all seems to be an orchestrated crisis. The 6666 bill for contact tracing (and other things) allows democRATs to target their enemies. All very dastardly if you ask me.
