Topic: Covid Numbers

Leaked video from a North Carolina hospital system shows senior doctors and a marketing director discussing ways to make COVID-19 numbers more scary for the public. The discussion includes counting recovered patients who are still in the hospital for other reasons as active COVID cases to inflate statistics. The hospital defended the staff involved, claiming the public overreacted to the leaked footage.

During a speech in Houston, President Joe Biden appeared to confuse the number of COVID-19 deaths with the number of vaccinations administered. He read a figure of 503,587 from a card, claiming the administration was "weeks ahead of schedule" while referencing the death toll.
