Two observations:

1) The media is seeing that this crisis is not only not tanking the Trump Presidency but is boosting it to stratospheric levels. The media, who drove the fear and panic to historic levels, that media, now figures that they have to end this. They, who drove this, now caution about fear and suddenly are discovering stories about how the fear was unfounded.

2) They want to end this as quickly as possible so that they can pivot, on a dime, to blaming Trump for the economy. Look for stories to start appearing that the economy is die to Trump’s policies and tax cuts. They will start to treat this virus as if it NEVER happened.

the MSM including the NYTimes(treason,sedition central)
is responsible for everydeath in America since
they were so busy LYING to impeach a beloved
ELECTED PRESIDENT.

hopefully they will see justice soon.
America waits patiently for it.

It is dangerous not to try, convict, and sentence traitors, especially the Deep State and fifth-column media, to be publicly hanged.

>>His second was to use the pandemic as an opportunity to show off his world-historical leadership skills by treating the virus as a threat on par with World War II.

He is hardly the only one to draw that comparison. it’s been made in UK an Germany too.

As of March 22, 2020, although there have been 205,621 "currently infected" cases there are 109,471 "cases with outcome" according to Worldometer.

Of those cases with outcomes 95,890, or 88%, have been "" recovered/discharged.

But 13,581, or 12%, died.

When we say that the death rate is 1.51% as of three days ago, that is done by guessing about the future. When we examine the past the death rate is 12%,

It is very difficult to come to final conclusions concerning lethality because of unknowns. We do not know how many people will catch the virus, we simply know what they report but many experts aver that many more with light or minimal symptoms go unreported.

Therefore it is impossible to make a judgment about the percentage of people within the population who die from the virus because we simply do not know what percentage get sick or what percentage will ultimately be treated.

All we know is that of those treated or recorded about 10 to 12% die by the end of the treatment.

Oops. I’m in the wrong thread.
I thought this was going to be about the Nuclear Winter - Hole in the Ozone - Global Warming - Climate Change impending emergency that we’re all facing. /S

And we know from this Leftist rag that we can be free of fear if we always have a Democrat/Socialist in the White House. Example: There was no fear at the NYT when tens of thousands died of the Swine Flu, because Obama was in office.

NYT needs only two words to shoot down their rant, “ POTEMKIN VILLAGE”.

[FlipWilson]

Here is where the media and left is heading, because it’s always about a focus grouped pivot:

1) Americans have no patience for restrictions on their daily lives. The media created this but will now stand athwart and blame Trump in order to capitalize on those frustrations. It will be as if this was all Trumps creation.

2) the pivot away from the virus, as if it never happened, is underway. It is a gradual start evidenced by downplaying the danger and “in hindsight” saying more evidence would have been required to take these measures, etc. Look for “It’s the Economy Stupid” articles to appear shortly.

Already I have heard this gem from our media: “The virus and economy really are separate issues.”

Bret Stephens could have wasted a little less of everyone's time by condensing his article to his basic thesis: "Whatever Trump does, I'm going to find fault with it".

That's what all the never-Trump whining has always been about.
