Maybe it was the same people that told Emanuel Macron that hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin was a promising treatment. You can't act like Trump is the only leader who talked about it. Macron went further than that, spending three hours talking to the researcher who proposed using it.

I believe, at least in New York, people are being counted as covid-19 deaths if they were in contact with someone who was diagnosed. They can count as a covid-19 death without ever being tested for it.
The number of deaths may be off but that is likely to be dwarfed by the much higher number of total cases that haven't been confirmed.

The fact that they are storing to multiple providers means that the costs should be higher than yourself just storing on one provider. That is before taking into consideration that the dividends on the trust need to meet the cost. The return on $10 needs to cover the costs of storing in S3 and B2.
