Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
the last time trumps incompetence as president caused a million americans to die in the span of one year due to an inept and purposefully sandbagged federal global viral pandemic response. he's going to beat that number this time.
There’s a 3 part series on the Reveal podcast about how the numbers were tracked. It wasn’t the CDC. It wasn’t anything federal trump established. It was 2 guys at The Atlantic collating data of each state individually and putting it together. They had rotating volunteer helpers. That was it.
And the federal government, and everyone else, received the data from them.
