Nashville Mayor Hid Low COVID Infection Numbers From People Who Went To Restaurants, Bars

TJV News

Leaked emails between the senior adviser to Nashville’s Mayor and a health department official reveal a disturbing effort to conceal extremely low coronavirus cases emanating from bars and restaurants, while the lion’s share of infections occurred in nursing homes and construction workers, according to WZTV Nashville.

You can watch this incredible news report below. You may not live in Nahville, but the implications of this report should be a giant red flag. If Nashville’s mayor is withholding FACTS regarding the pandemic, how much truth are you receiving from your local officials? Most important: Why are they lying?

 

On June 30th, contact tracing was giving a small view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes causing problems more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.

Leslie Waller from the health department asks “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?”

“Correct, not for public consumption.” Writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles. –WZTV

Tennessean reporter Nate Rau asked the health department: “the figure you gave of “more than 80” does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?”

To which health department official Brian Todd scrambled for an answer – asking five health department officials: “Please advise how you respond. BT.”

The response – from an official whose name was omitted from the leaked email: “My two cents. We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site,” adding “We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be “because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number.””

In other words, the Mayor would not release the FACTS, because the numbers were too low. Why would a Mayor of a major city like Nashville, not want to tell the public the good news? Donald Trump Jr pointed this out in a recent tweet.
