I got the Covid

[lilranch2001]

Sooooo you are saying a huge corporation is so lax in their editing they cannot get a simple fact, well a rather IMPORTANT fact correct??

No matter what, it does not speak highly of CNN!

 

[the old grind]

I wonder who some people do speak highly of, esp when they won't.

Dawn Wells had serious health issues for over 4 years. Amazing how other types of deaths from such issues as cancer and heart disease have dropped during this pandemic. Why did the gov change cause of death reporting for this outbreak? We will never know the true data numbers now.

We will never know the true data numbers now.

Being that Covid went political from day one, is there anyone that really thought that there was such a thing as "true data numbers"? The train has crashed. We can either keep pointing fingers or put it back on the tracks.

You assume it was CNN that made the error ... but it could have just as easily been the local CBS affiliate that claimed to have sourced it from CNN.

If you scroll to the bottom of the report, you’ll find out the source of the information. CNN

You don’t have to go to all that trouble ... CNN has the byline ... just under the headline and date at the top.

You dont have to go to all that trouble ... CNN has the byline ... just under the headline and date at the top.

And that's why everyone needs to read news from varied, perhaps contrasting, sources before you 'know' something. Approximate US and worldwide numbers should be part of everyone's 'common knowledge' by now.

In approximate numbers - 350,000 of those 1.8 million deaths are in the US. With 4% of the world population.


Anyhow - Eddie, we hope you and your wife feel better soon!

Yes, yes I am. Why? I've had COVID. My entire family has had it. We got it before Thanksgiving. We know exactly who we got it from and where. An anti-masking COVID denier relative who refused to where their mask as they attended a necessary family function to turn off someone's defibrillator. Between Thanksgiving, bereavement leave, COVID leave, and Christmas leave, I'll have worked 6 out of 42 days and missed 15 days of actual work. 5 of those I'd have missed due to bereavement anyway, so I missed 10 days of work due to the above mentioned relative.

So yes, I have a horse in this race. I'm trying to post facts, not opinion, but sometimes things get the best of me.

Like this gem on the nightly news tonight and the wonderful plan that was put in place to deal with vaccine distribution...

Operation Warp Speed at a crawl: Adequately vaccinating Americans will take 10 years at current pace

They should have turned distribution over to Amazon. Everybody would have had their vaccine by Christmas morning.

Nah can't be true!
FOX news never reports facts!
Try ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC for accurate reporting!
I did just hear that FOX report also.
Those folks just gotta be lying!

Fox News actually has news reporters, but Tucker Carlson isn't one of them. They don't make a clear distinction between news and editorial rants. Wallace is a news reporter, Carlson is not.

Wallace is an interviewer with an obvious bias.
