I think you're being a little naive on this one, too.
I realised so, and quickly clarified.

You seem to be saying that facts are created in the past, though... that we can't establish facts in the present, we can only wait until the present has passed before we establish facts about what is happening now.
Claims like "the government's incompetence have caused thousands of deaths" have not been established as fact yet.
