Fox is right to be concerned. Very concerned. This could be a legal bloodbath. Discovery will undoubtedly show that its personnel were putting out falsely comforting information it knew to be false and misleading in order to sync up with WH messaging.

"...I've been talking to Fox insiders over the last few days, there's a real concern inside the network that their early downplaying of the coronavirus actually exposes Fox News to potential legal action by viewers who maybe were misled. " —@gabrielsherman mediamatters.org/fox-news/fo…

Last night Andrew Neil organised repeated pile ons of his abusive followers against me, for pointing out that the numbers in this study are wrong.
This morning, the author of the study significantly revised the numbers.

Author of study which projected UK deaths could come in under 6000 says modelling overtaken by reality; 20k-30k is much more likely if the measures being taken are effective in flattening curve. (So 5700 figure should be dropped entirely by commentators)

It's not true that nobody ever thought this crisis could happen. It's not true that the WaPo report on Inslee's comments to Trump was "fake news." It's not true that "everybody" wants businesses reopened rapidly amid the pandemic. cnn.com/2020/03/26/politics/…

The coronavirus is not Donald Trump's fault, but his inept response is.
He ignored the warnings for months, downplayed the threat it posed, and failed to take the action needed to combat the outbreak.
It's one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our history.

In June 2017 every Tory MP except 1 voted to oppose giving NHS nurses a proper pay rise. When the result of the vote was announced & the Tories found they had succeeded in blocking the nurses pay rise, they cheered.

Daughter's high-school ceramics teacher's first home-school assignment was "make clay." Daughter marched off to creek bed and excavated mud. Spent two days going through procedures to make it clay. Then made this Terra Cotta Warrior last night. Better than "real" school?

USA now has more Covid-19 cases than either Italy or China.
Quite an achievement by @realDonaldTrump who said it was a DEM hoax and that the numbers would soon go down (when they were in double figures). #MAGA #MAGAVirus
