People keep believing something that has no ties to reality and reality inevitably snaps back. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, that may have been the point of QAnon …

Her dashboard still shows the same positive numbers as the state dashboard. The difference is the state dashboard separates numbers by residents and non-residents, while her dashbo…
