Description
Coronavirus continues its terrifying rampage of large swaths of the country. But the Trump administration has made a point of mentioning that even while cases are rising, deaths are declining. That disconnect is, he says, proof the Covid-19 pandemic is under control. But the mismatch could be an anomaly caused by quirks in how deaths data is collected and reported.

Robert Langreth and Emma Court report that it’s too soon to know for sure that deaths are still declining.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
