b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 As U.S. deaths from COVID-19 increase, a new study finds that a drug hyped for weeks by President Trump and Fox News, hydroxychloroquine, is no cure at all and could actually cause harm. In the U.K., a new analysis concludes that the number of coronavirus-related deaths are likely at least two times higher than the official tally, that counts only patients who died in hospitals after testing positive. A different study conducted in Los Angeles suggests that infections are far more widespread than previously understood - as much as 28 to 55 times higher. Yet Republican governors are rushing to open up businesses against health experts' dire warnings. Georgia physician Dr. Karla Lorraine, in a moving viral video, excoriates GA's GOP Gov. Brian Kemp for his questionable decision to open a wide array of businesses, which endangers the health of frontline healthcare workers. Getting out of this madness begins with voting such madmen out of office, and to that end, attorney COURTNEY HOSTETLER of Free Speech for People discusses the lawsuit brought by NAACP of North Carolina to block the use of new, unsecure, 100% unverifiable -- and now infectiously dangerous --\\xa0 touchscreen voting systems in November.\\xa0 Hostetler explains how the new machines are a vector for spreading disease, are wildly prone to failure and hacking, and use barcoded "paper ballot" summary cards that can never be verified as accurately reflecting the intent of any voter. The suit argues such systems must be replaced with hand-marked paper ballots before the critical Presidential election this November.
