Many Republicans, conservatives, and Trump supporters willingly mislead us concerning the Covid-19 threat by ignoring reality.
VP Pence recently played Pied Piper downplaying the current Covid-19 reality as part of the GOP re-election campaign.
For a reality check, please view the 22 states where Covid-19 rates are increasing as reported to Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center:

Vice President Mike Pence argued Tuesday that “panic is overblown” surrounding the possibility of a second wave of COVID-19 despite fears of a resurgence of the virus that shuttered the economy and killed more than 100,000 Americans. “
In recent days, the media has taken to sounding the alarm bells over a 'second wave' of coronavirus infections. Such panic is overblown,” Pence wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. “Lost in the coverage is the fact that today less than 6 percent of Americans tested each week are found to have the virus.”
The vice president noted “more than half” of the states are seeing case numbers decline or remain stable.
He added that daily infections in the U.S. were dropping to an average of 20,000, down from 30,000 per day in April and 25,000 in May. Pence, the leader of the White House coronavirus task force, noted that deaths were down to an average of 750 per day, down from 2,500 per day a few weeks ago. He said the U.S. is now performing roughly 500,000 coronavirus tests per day.
