yeah, because politics is so much more important than providing accurate information.
GMAFB.
Your ignorance is either feigned or you are extremely naive. I don't think you are either.
Any thinking person knows that to effectively govern in times like these, you cannot have hugely mixed messages to the public. These things are hammered out behind closed doors.

Both the media and the current administration have been nothing but mixed messages, from January to March.

Kinda, but not really.
- Most of the media has been in the Doom & Gloom business constantly, and the usual Orange Man bad type of questions and articles.
- I wouldn't say the administration has been as much mixed messages, as evolving messages. As usual with large entities, the government has been slower to change than a smaller entity.
If you look, we're seeing another evolution right now. Safety is being balanced against economic collapse. I think we'll be seeing policy changes by the end of April.

Especially not with the bloodthirsty press we have today.

Still, Jolly - it would be a really, really bad move to fire him. It would give more ammunition to those who say he doesn't listen to the scientists and would shake up an already scared population. This is a situation where a steady hand is needed, not management by chaos.
He's not going to fire him, but I think you'll see Fauci backtrack at today's briefing.

What a stupid question to ask. Just trying to get him to say something clickbait..

That's been the game for the past month.
It's like there are two tiers of journalism, otften within the same publication: the job of the political reporters is to gin up clickbait to rake in ridiculously diminishing ad returns (although with everyone being home, ad reach has been artificially inflated, no doubt giving the ad sales guys a false sense of security and justification), and then the content reporters investigate every potentially plausible theory they come across.
Neither are really all that great, but long story short, political coverage is clickbait and outrage pr0n masquerading as public interest.

He loves clickbait, he loves the attention and the TV ratings, and he seems naturally prolific at generating material for click bait.

Total cases - (deaths + recoveries), IOW a case that’s still unresolved.
But with so many asymptomatic people once you identify them by testing at scale you really aren’t for sure accurately measuring growth right? It seems so obvious to me so I feel like I must be still missing something.

@jon-nyc said in In which jon-nyc stakes out an unconventional opinion on the Covid-19 outbreak:
Our case count is affected by testing capacity, yes. That’s always been the case.
I am honestly trying to understand your logic. How do you account for deaths declining?
