The tweet about the Jets signing Kaepernick is from a parody account and you have no one but yourself to blame for believing they had done something exciting.
"Oh wow, the Jets did something really gutsy" LISTEN TO YOURSELF
You also thought the Knicks were going to sign LeBron, didn't you.

Minutes after a Fox News segment on a protest against social distancing measures outside the Minnesota governor's office, by conservative "Liberate Minnesota" group, Trump tweets "LIBERATE MINNESOTA!"

Left, Fox's America's Newsroom, 11:19 a.m.
Right, Trump, 11:21 a.m.
Me yesterday: "And if Trump sees Fox’s protest coverage and endorses the effort, social distancing will become even more politically polarized. The hard-won progress in the fight against the virus could evaporate in an instant," leading to new COVID wave. mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…

1. Here’s the conundrum I keep coming back to.
2. You need near-total public unity to maintain social distancing and prevent the virus' spread long enough to set up test/trace/quarantine as a bridge to a vaccine. Without it, enough people defect and stop doing it for the system to break down, and new outbreaks sprout.
3. You need near-total public unity to reopen the economy while the virus is still spreading. Without it, enough people defect and refuse to reenter the economy for the system to break down, and businesses fail.

1. Fox News is promoting protests against social distancing measures. This is really bad.

2. Governors across the country have instituted stay at home orders and other social distancing measures. This has limited the coronavirus' spread, preventing hospitals from being overwhelmed and keeping the death toll from becoming truly nightmarish.
3. But that's come with a heavy price -- massive unemployment and economic destruction. Everyone wants this to end, it can't be the permanent condition. But public health experts say we need much more testing capacity than we have now before we can start safely reopening.
