Don’t you find it even a little odd lecturing other states on how to handle COVID, when NYC, where your publisher resides, has the highest death count in the world 3170/million? That is almost 3x the national average of 1271.

It is more than every single state. In fact, it is more than double every single state except, NJ, NY, MA, RI, MS, CT, SD, ND, LA, AZ, and IL. It is 3x higher than 20 states.

It is 4x higher than 10 states: NC, OK, KY, NH, VA, WA,UT, OR, MA, AL, VT, and HI. It is more than double every single country in Europe—and NYC has a larger population than 28 out of 48 countries.

Spare me the population density arguments, too. The reason that NYC is so high is because their leaders chose to protect your class, and infect the class that serves you. Guessing your colleagues live in one of the light pink areas? www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid…

Our leaders chose to ignore or forget science that showed clearly that when an infection has a highly stratified risk, harsh measures exacerbate the outcomes—which is why NYC’s numbers look like they do. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Now they are covering their asses—and people like you are helping them. Is it because you enjoy this dystopic hell that you have created for the rest of us? Guessing you fall into both of the two buckets circled in pink below?

It’s funny, I recently traveled to Utah—whose deaths/million @ 478 are 6x LOWER than NYC & 3x LOWER than DC. What you found troubling, I found refreshing. I suppose in the news, if it bleeds it leads, so you’re more a glass half empty kind of guy?

The actions of your reporting have terrible consequences. They create a culture of fear that keeps children out of school, and keeps people out of work—for no reason. There is zero correlation between in-person schools and growth.

You know where there’s a strong correlation? Between schools being closed, and democratic voters—and I’m sure subscribers to your newspaper. At what point did the Democratic party and the NYT become the party of no-school?

Know where else there’s no correlation? Between masking and case growth.

You are probably not trying to actively suppress the education of the poor and middle class in your community, to destroy jobs, but that is what you are doing. You live in an echo chamber, above the fold as it were. But 2/3rds of the country lives below that fold.

Your actions, your words have consequences. Your words shape policies and opinions. Right now your words are spreading fear, distrust, blame, economic destruction and providing an excuse to unions to keep kids out of school.

Reality will catch up with you. That 2/3s who is miserable right now—and whose state and city COVID responses are so much better than your city’s—they will gradually figure out your mischaracterization. Many already have. They wonder why.

Why not get ahead of it? Why not become a glass-half full guy? If you care about Biden’s success, there is nothing more helpful you could do, than start being honest about COVID, start putting it in context, talking about relative risk, holding the politicians to account.
