Not a Hoax Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

Pres Trump said we wouldn't hear about COVID-19 after Nov. 3. It's Nov. 4 and nearly 6,000 new cases were reported and a record number are on ventilators. This might explain why Joe Biden is the apparent winner in Wisconsin.

Also, the latest coronavirus numbers.

A Numbers Game Oct 28, 2020
