In COVID19 tracking, ‘cases’ is worthless number when testing is limited, & reported ‘deaths’ doesn’t seem accurate either “U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll Is Far Higher Than Reported, C.D.C. Data Suggests” nytimes.com/interactive/20…
In summary, these higher than expected death counts suggest we don't know: 1) how many people are dying of COVID-19 or 2) when the curve is flattened, which would be the reason for ending quarantine and the impetus for economy re-starting.
In short, despite all the briefings & reports, does not appear to me that we 'know' that much about COVID-19, how to treat it, or what's going to happen with this pandemic.

As politicians whine about fact checking on social media, reminder politicians are most corrosive force on social media & could have regulated social media at anytime since last election, but have not, for if they did, they wouldn't be able to use it to win their next election
Here's some data, and why these folks are so worried about social media companies fact checking them. cnn.com/2018/03/20/pol…
Kremlin influence can continue on social media because of the lack of fact checking, rebutting, policing the partisan infowars of American politicians. Russia doesn't need to make fake news, American politicians are making PLENTY of it & Kremlin trolls just repurpose it

Excellent point - an AQ terrorist attack in the homeland would have run wall to wall coverage for days. We’d be launching Counterrorism programs across the Arabian peninsula if this were 2010.
To add to #Pensacolashooting debacle, US spends billions to protect against AQ attacks, but highly probable, foreseeable attack occurs. Invited guest of Saudi, AQ recruits insider, insider acquires weapons in US, takes them onto base he has access & kills service member
Meanwhile, USG is pushing Muslim ban on many countries citing terrorism risks, but let’s invited people from Saudi enter with minimal to no screening, despite Saudi (not on the list) being the largest recruiting location for jihadists for 30 years

“Why was that so important? Because the Russians would have known what Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak discussed. They would have known that, despite Mr. Pence’s and others’ denials, Mr. Flynn had in fact asked Russia not to escalate its response to the sanctions.”
“Mr. Pence’s denial of this on national television, and his attribution of the denial to Mr. Flynn, put Mr. Flynn in a potentially compromised situation that the Russians could use against him.”
