As long as there was effectively no testing. he maintained the pretense that there were no cases to be detected.

Fortunately, the data is being complied https://covidtracking.com/data along with ratings on data quality.

I have little doubt that retrospective analysis will reveal a far higher death rate, but the goals of those who are suppressing data will already have been achieved.
