And articles like this just drive people right. So much of it is not accurate. Claiming COVID-19 has a 6% fatality rate is just stupid

It’s so obvious that cnn is losing the narrative on this. Public opinion is starting to push away from lockdowns and they are freaking out and trying to inspire panic.

I felt that early on I got a clearer picture from NY times but they just kept hammering away and it became too bleak and depressing and you eventually realize that they have an agenda beyond painting a picture that's sort of accurate.

Obviously I know they have an agenda. But they should not cause widespread and prolonged panic. They should report the good and bad so people realize that there is hope.

Doesn’t push me right at all. I never trust CNN, they’re a total joke.

At least they are admitting that strict quarantines will not stop the spread in its tracks; it will merely slow it. Whether you are Sweden or Denmark the same number of people will eventually be infected, barring a vaccine. The difference in in the rate, and there starts the debate about the advantage of one approach the other.

Quote:
“Like Kelen said, until there's a vaccine, the same number of people will be infected no matter what if people stop staying home. Coronavirus cases will grow again.
It's just a matter of letting the disease "burn through society very quickly" over a few months or prolonging the time it takes coronavirus to spread, he said. The latter scenario buys some time for vaccine development and staggers the number of patients hospitals see so they won't be overburdened.”

They don’t get to “admit” it- their opinions are worthless. I don’t believe everyone who would get infected without precautions will. I think medicine, a vaccine, safety measures to prevent infection etc. can and will greatly lower infection and death rate.

You are correct, they have an agenda, and saying that we’re all going to end up infected might just be part of that.

Exactly. The argument that everyone is going to get it anyways is a bad argument whichever way you position it. What we know now in terms of early treatment possibly could have saved lots of lives two months ago.

I think at this point we can flip the thread title.  What left is doing right now to keep this country shut is nauseating

What i like about him in the current situation (and almost all) is that he gives you all the facts........ and then his opinion which has been a 1 tire in the left lane but it sound now hes back to normal ;)

That’s why I think that the fall won’t be anything near the doom so are predicting.

I want to believe you’re right, I just don’t know. So I’d rather hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Of course within reason, as we can’t have the economy collapse or stay home forever. We need thoughtful restrictions and regulations and good data to work with, as well as the ability to quickly adapt as needed.

Is that not what N.Y. and NJ are doing?

If you keep tight restrictions you don’t allow severe outbreaks.
