How IS Tucker nowadays?
Since your bringing up politics, I'm a democrat. But what does that have to do with my statement? That's the problem today. Let's blur the truth because of politics. Move along, or at least bring some facts, not media driven bs.

Meaning that it spreads to one area does it’s damage then spreads to the next.

Now let’s see if any of these states that got hit hard back in March/April have another severe outbreak.
Beyond ominous warnings of a second horrendous wave, NYT has helpfully warned of a twindemic (that is when covid and seasonal flu hit together). No wonder why NYT readers are very very scared.

Different topic but did anyone else notice CNN bury this little bombshell three days ago (after attacking Sweden's approach for five months)? CNN: Sweden now has one of Europe’...19 death rates

(Turns out Sweden's approach was a very wise one [relative to other European countries] after all...soft lockdowns and never closed schools for those 16 and under...did have missteps with nursing homes)

See, if they didn't contract COVID-19, they'd possibly, if not likely, be alive.

Why go looking for a conspiracy when there's so much real heavy lifting to do?

This is correct, there is no conspiracy here. Details matter, sometimes people are not given the details or don’t want them so they can see a conspiracy.

Making millions with the highest ratings on cable news TV. Seems to be fine to me.


How’s Maddow?

Guy has managed diabetes successfully for thirty years, gets hit by a truck and dies.
Many today would say the cause of his death was diabetes .

Turns out Sweden's approach has given it a death rate five times higher than neighboring Denmark. It may be a bit too soon to declare a victory.

/\ /\ I don’t think CNN was declaring victory for Sweden 4 days ago , nor today Bloomberg News: “New Covid Cases Soar in Denmark, Surpassing No-Lockdown Sweden” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ockdown-sweden

Nor Newsweek yesterday: “Sweden's Public Health Director Explains Why Lack of Lockdown Was a Success” https://www.newsweek.com/sweden-covi...health-1530927

A whole host of news organizations are now -in a reversal of their previous coverage- pointing out Sweden’s relative success (especially its current infection rate).

I was not directing the comment at CNN, I was directing it at one who wrote "Turns out Sweden's approach was a very wise one..." while denying the death rate.
