PETE! Awesome seeing you come along over the years. No question, but thanks for doing what you do!

PETE? Is it awesome seeing you come along over the years? Question, should I thank you for doing what you do?

I should add that I'm a fellow vet, so your comedy resonates and helps me as well. <3

You claim to be USA "Facts", and in your title you claim, "There was no US map for tracking COVID-19 cases at a county level, so we at USAFacts made one."

People come in and point out there's literally been county-level maps (covidactnow.org is one I've followed at a county level since late March at least, backed by Stanford and Georgetown's med schools), and you're moving your goalposts.

You seriously don't understand why people are upset with you in here?

Look, I'm one of your early supporters. I loved the concept of USAFacts. But it seems to have become "USAPsuedofacts". You were supposed to be a bastion of a reputable bipartisan fact source.

But here we are now.

So this is the way it looks:

1. You lied. You straight up know there have been county-level maps, and you lied.
2. You didn't know. Honest mistake. BUT you're trying to establish credibility. So you spent X amount of time creating this without even doing any research that this had already existed? Or maybe you personally (the person running this social media) didn't know. Either way, this heavily hurts your credibility and ability to claim any expertise.
3. You made a typo. Honest mistake again. BUT you're now doubling down and moving the goalposts.

You posted just under this downvoted comment 3 hours ago a doubling-down and moving the goalposts. Then only about an hour ago, you then apologized.

Guys, get your shit together. This is embarrassing and further setting USAFacts up for failing in the mission many of us were so excited to see years ago.
