[QUOTE="Vikings22, post: 4479918, member: 80471"] I did google "CDC revised death toll" and it was just the same story from various news outlets saying that people are sharing a false news story around about the CDC revising the death toll numbers from covid 19. So, yes it is fake news. There is absolutely nothing about a revised death toll on the CDC website or Facebook page. You never got your info from them. I'm going to be very blunt, telling others to just Google it when you obviously never did that yourself is very poor judgment. It didn't take much research at all to see that this was misinformation. I'm going to guess that you probably saw an article being shared on Facebook and accepted that as truth. I see it all the time. Many people don't know what a good news source is. Hey, you could've even gotten it off of Twitter too. If you're trying to share information, but are unable or unwilling to provide a link yourself then others have every reason to be skeptical. Telling people to Google it themselves is a rather lazy and thoughtless thing to say. [/QUOTE]
