My daily paper still has a covid 19 section every day.

Perhaps the reason it is not all over the tv news is because the POTUS no longer has 2 hour briefing sessions. And a few of the major CDC players are quarantined.

i still hear about it, but it's an afterthought compared to the last 3 months.

If you look at New York with an average of 4,000 people who die of various causes a month before Covid and you look at 9,780 deaths in a month after Covid, it isn't hard to put two and two together. Around 5,000 people more died in that month.

Look, you go ahead and live in the alternative fact universe. I know what this is and so do the vast majority of people around the globe. I hope you manage to avoid this despite your lack of knowledge and trust in science. You do not want this.

Every day the news I watch talks about COVID...the numbers, the impact of the protests, the dangers, the warnings, etc.

That's weird, it's still front and center everywhere I look. Are you sure you're telling the truth?

I watch the news every night on ABC and listen to local news radio when I am walking my dog. Sure, the protesting and riots are now the main hot story, but they are still talking about Covid. It's just taken a back seat (what else can they really say about it that they haven't already). We get a new cases report, death toll, news about lifting restrictions, etc.

My guess is the OP doesn't regulatory watch, read, or listen to the news or only gets news from a very limited source.

Post #51 and #55 are screen shots i took of front page of CNN and MSNNBC

it's funny. Last week just before GeorgeFloyd death, "politics and other controversies" forum was full of COVID19 threads and debates. Since his death, this forum is all about riot/protest debate threads from top to bottom.

'Politics and Other Controversies' forum follows the trend/flavor/bandwagon from MSM. That is the fact.

The flavor for June is riot/protest.
March-May was covid19
February was Trump impeachment

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that it's silly to be outraged over 100,000 deaths?
