The government is as capable of lying as anyone else, including the police. Of course they are going to feed people statistics and trends that sound good to support their agenda, it gives them more control. Convincing people they have control of them by telling them they have control of the virus or some other surface problem is usually enough for them to keep doing what they're doing.
Everyone is part of the problem, including the government. The government is not really more qualified to do anything than most of it's people, it's just a group of people with control of more money, resources/supplies, and weapons than most of it's people.

A type of small alcoholic beverage, taken as a shot with a 'back' to chase it, named for a conspiracy theory which posits that the U.S. government invented it as part of a health trend to get people to buy more vodka and pay more excise tax on liquors. The shot is usually taken as follows: 1-2 ounces of Vodka (usually Tito's gluten free) taken as a shooter, followed by a chaser mixing olive oil, turmeric, and Bragg's liquid amino. The sourness of the amino sometimes causes people to gag after the vodka, but if one can keep it down, the olive oil is supposed to help coat the stomach against the acidity and soak up some of the alcohol, preventing hangovers.
I went to Erewhon this morning with Tabither, and afterwards we went out on the Strip and took Government Shots all night- I mean, I've got a shoot tomorrow. I've gotta be fresh in the mornings, but I've gotta party, too. The Government is underrated.

An extremely painful experience, similar to a lobotomy, that is likely to last up to 5 years, with mind numbing levels of taxation on workers and employers alike. The concept was started by some oddball called Ramsay MacDonald who was Prime Minister of a Labour minority government in 1924, but fortunately that bunch of losers only lasted for 9 months - phew! The second occasion that Ramsay MacDonald led a Labour Government between 1929 and 1931 conditions were so bad, it was called the Great Depression!
Yes, amazingly there's some bloke down our pub, who know's someone, who's friend's mother-in-law actually voted for this Labour Government - I know I didn't believe it either!

A government colonoscopy is when you arrange for the ATF, the IRS, and unemployment to investigate your abusive ex, since you couldn't get him arrested for abuse, hopefully he will be arrested for tax fraud or illegally owning a firearm or abusing unemployment during COVID.
Did you ever get Killian to stop stalking you?
I ordered a government colonoscopy for him. He has bigger problems now.
