If you have your nose in only right wing media, then the pandemic is over and it's time to move on. If you read, research, and watch all media? The pandemic is easing in some areas, spreading in others and there are over 100,000 American's dead, and still counting.

Being lied to from the right about this pandemic is the norm. Trump blew the response early on by lying about it because it's all he had. There were no "all the best people" in place to handle this and he was very slow to build a team to do something about it. When you have no tools in your tool box what do you do? Focus on messaging and lie. It's the right wing playbook.

Read some, you might broaden your horizons. This SARS virus could be with us for a long time. Remember H1N1? It's actually still part of the influenza viruses that circulate every year. That pandemic was bad, but nothing like Covid, and we had a vaccine early on for H1H1. Imagine Covid being part of our lives forever. It's quite possible.

You are joking right?

Every talk of the protests and then the riots has included some reference to the fact that all of thi is going on amid a pandemic.

They have reported on how the Atlanta mayor encouraged people to get tested after being in the group, etc.

You hear what you think you hear.....

Only if you're living in a cave and don't come out long enough to watch a daily news report or read a newspaper.

CNN and BBC, et al, are not "social medias".

Let me show you instead:

www.cnn.com -- Top right hand corner of the page
www.theguardian.com -- Scroll down about four levels
www.bbc.com -- Top right hand corner of the page

Thread fail.

You may be incapable of staying on topic, but news reporters are not.

Why don't you turn on your TV to any news channel. Let's see what kind of news they are broadcasting.

Log in any main page social media and lets see what kind of news they are posting.

For example, main page of CNN is www.cnn.com
NOT www.cnn.com/1234566777coronavirus12i3i3i8

logged on to TWitter -- huge story from NBC on the pandemic in the protests.

I wasn't looking for it -- it came to me.

I don't usually follow NBC - somebody must have retweeted it.

I only noticed it because I had read this post.......the infol is out there....if we are looking for it.

Just wait a couple of weeks, it'll be back on the front page again when all of the new infections from the re-openings, the protests, and the rioting are counted.
