This is what will happen in the US as a result of the multiple recent policy changes on Covid. Prove me wrong.

They can literally dictate how many tests come back positive or negative by just changing how many cycles the PCR testing goes through above the recommended threshold(since they already did that by about a dozen cycles or more to pad the numbers). They can inflate or deflate the numbers at their leisure to suit the current narrative.
As a bonus, people like my sister in law can claim that having had COVID isn't as effective in prevention as the vaccine because misdiagnosed flu will skew the numbers that way too.
There's also something called "reversion to mean"- if you act on outliers, you're basically guaranteed that the numbers will make it look like your actions are effective, because the outliers pretty much always revert to the average just because that's what outliers do.
The usual example is putting a new stoplight on the intersection in the city with the most accidents in the last year. Then next year, the number of accidents goes down. Must be that stoplight, right? Except it was probably going to go down anyway, because the intersection with the most accidents in the city last year was likely a statistical fluke to begin with, and it's average number of accidents is lower.
And we see it both ways with the wuhan virus. A state has a record high number of cases last month? Better make up a bunch of bullshit restrictions, things are getting dangerous! Then next month, when it's lower, it must be because those restrictions worked, not that it was just a coincidence that it was that high to begin with, and it would have come down anyway. And the other way, where there's a sudden dip- well, I GUESS we can remove a few restrictions... oh no, next month the numbers went up, better put all the lockdowns back in place!
Record lows are usually followed by an increase, record highs are usually followed by a decrease, and both those factors encourage idiots to have more lockdowns and convince themselves that they work.
They really think we wouldn't notice when they do all of this at once?
They don’t care if we notice, not like “we” have done anything to stop the blatant constitutional violations like allowing an unelected bureaucratic agency dictate private enterprise for over a year now.
95% of people would never notice independently. Half of those people will be told directly and still not believe it because they're totally domesticated. The half that do believe it will believe it because they're told to, not because they understand what's being said.

The only chart that ever mattered.
It's over.
