Screenshots from last night's Fox News and Fox Business coverage of coronavirus heavy on Dear Leader-ism and media blame.

Yes, that's a photo from the Benghazi attacks in the Ingraham one.

Here's Ingraham explaining that Hillary Clinton would have handled "the Wuhan virus" worse as president "if her handling of Benghazi is any guide."
OK fine why not it's March 2020 I'll write a Benghazi piece.

Solidarity re: keeping the economy shut down to limit mass casualties is already breaking down, with WSJ edit page calling for "a pandemic strategy that is more economically and socially sustainable than the current national lockdown." This is... not good. wsj.com/articles/rethi…
Main problem of course is that this presumes such a strategy actually exists.
update: we're screwed.

Conservative leaders spent decades driving their supporters to reject mainstream reporting and instead patronize right-wing media outlets. When those supporters needed life-or-death information about a pandemic, they got propaganda instead.
"It's the dishonest left wing news media's fault that Fox was telling everyone coronavirus was just like the flu" is apparently the takes you get from the party of personal responsibility.

#coronavirus: A Theory Of Origin.
Some time in the 1990s, China realizes that its military imbalance with the US is untenable in the log term. The leadership resolves to create a bioweapon that will debilitate its enemies but one that its own people can be immunized against.

It pours billions into virus research, including studying how to weaponize flu, especially some promising strains from bats. The SARS family seems to be particularly promising but after it gets loose, the numbers show that more work is needed on infectiousness.

“What proved even more deadly was the government policy toward the truth”-John M. Berry, on the 1918 flu pandemic
smithsonianmag.com/history/journa…
“while influenza bled into American life, public health officials, determined to keep morale up, began to lie.”
“The most important lesson from 1918 is to tell the truth. Though that idea is incorporated into every preparedness plan I know of, its actual implementation will depend on the character & leadership of the people in charge when a crisis erupts”-John Berry
washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
The way to a contain a pandemic’s impacts on public health, economies, & social cohesion is to invest in capacity, institutions, & trustworthy info to create shared facts. Denial & BS won’t stabilize markets or regain trust: evidence of effective response & moral leadership will.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
