A

their lockdowns against the coronavirus, public health of-
ficials in some states are being accused of bungling in-
fection statistics or even deliberately using a little sleight
of hand to make things look better than they are.
The result is that politicians, business owners and ordinary
Americans who are making decisions about reopenings
and other day-to-day matters risk being left with the im-
pression that the virus is under more control than it actu-
ally is.
