Quincy yet again suffers another COVID-19 fatality.

Not that the average citizen would know how to discern.

The reason that the local COVID-19 death toll is so hard to discern is it given the Koch Maladministration’s recently announced COVID-19 fatality update policy. 

This recent policy change has been operationalized in such a fashion that one has to do the math so as to discern changes in the fatality number from the previous general local COVID-19 data update rather than just announcing the latest change in the local COVID-19 death toll.

Accordingly, such is why the ever-growing legions of loyal Quincy Quarry readers turn to Quarry because they can handle the truth.

Further note that this week’s weekly fatality update was rolled out on Twitter well over an hour after City Hall had “officially” closed up shop for the weekend. 

In turn, doing so thus buries the already far from obvious announcement even further into the usually dead zone that is the typical weekend news cycle.

That and so also rolled it out at a time when the Quincy Quarry News crew had already headed out of the newsroom to celebrate Happy Hour and so leaving things up to its intern to cover late-breaking breaking badly bad news© .

Then again, if one wants to bury bad news, what better way to do it than during the dark of night on a Friday night?
