A clarification:

Cuomo warns 80% will get virus over ‘9 months’ as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown"

Shame on me. Fake news on ME.

The headline says 80% will get virus.

But in the body of the story, it says:

"... said up to 80 per cent of New York could become infected"

and:

"...Cuomo said up to 80% of the state's population could get sick..."

and:

Cuomo quoted - "But 40 per cent up to 80 percent of the population will wind up getting this virus."

Really? This is what passes for journalism? Numbers ALL OVER the place. Could becomes will? What. The. Hell.

More to follow:

The rest of the headline from The Sun:

"...as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown"

and in the body of the story is says:

"Mnuchin says that families could be locked down for up to twelve weeks."

What Mnuchin did say is that the fiscal stimulus package:

"I would say we're looking at this from anywhere to a 10 to 12 week scenario."

Again. What. The. Hell.

Shame on me. Shame on you.

But most of all, shame on The Sun. Absolute FAKE NEWS. Dammnit.
