Fox is right to be concerned. Very concerned. This could be a legal bloodbath. Discovery will undoubtedly show that its personnel were putting out falsely comforting information it knew to be false and misleading in order to sync up with WH messaging.
Jay Rosen@jayrosen_nyu

"...I've been talking to Fox insiders over the last few days, there's a real concern inside the network that their early downplaying of the coronavirus actually exposes Fox News to potential legal action by viewers who maybe were misled. " —@gabrielsherman mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…

If we redeployed a few of the billions to providing customized delivery and care service to the elderly and immune-compromised then the young and those with immunity could get society going again?
Matt Ridley@mattwridley

If we really could isolate those with underlying conditions from the rest of the society, then everybody else could get the world back to normal. Once enough people were immune, they could care for those who are more vulnerable. But can that be done?: spectator.co.uk/article/the-cu…

Last night Andrew Neil organised repeated pile ons of his abusive followers against me, for pointing out that the numbers in this study are wrong. This morning, the author of the study significantly revised the numbers.
Sunder Katwala@sundersays

Author of study which projected UK deaths could come in under 6000 says modelling overtaken by reality; 20k-30k is much more likely if the measures being taken are effective in flattening curve. (So 5700 figure should be dropped entirely by commentators) twitter.com/TomPike0007590…

@jackschofield @allisonpearson A perfect cover story for the Chinese . I spent years in BAOR watching my step in case someone became too friendly... We spent a lot of time learning the how the soft ways of our enemy got under our soft underbelly.

@ccthansard @allisonpearson >> This was either an accidental or deliberate release from such a Chinese laboratory.... If you actually believe that, you're insane. Viruses like this appear naturally and we've been expecting and predicting something like this for years. This virus is SARS-CoV-2.

@jackschofield @allisonpearson We are presented with a very considerable clinical threat. I see some of the detail as my wife is a GP. All countries hold stocks of viruses to counter threat and create antibodies. This was either an accidental or deliberate release from such a Chinese laboratory....

@ccthansard @allisonpearson In that case, what's your excuse? It should be a criminal offense to peddle crackpot conspiracy theories when people are dying.

@allisonpearson We are going to have to make some so stark choices. This virus out of Wuhan is man-made and I am sure has some clever jiggery pockery in its DNA that will always leave us one step behind...

@edzitron @zsk Once you've got past the stage of trying to buy a drink in a bar, I don't think it matters much for men. I don't think I noticed any effects either way until the first time an attractive young lady offered me her seat on the tube. That told me I looked a lot older than I felt...

@mschlapp Nobody "opines" that @realDonaldTrump is "untruthful". It's a well known fact that he is, as @tedcruz said, a pathological liar. Trump lies every time he opens his mouth, and he's won Liar of the Year awards. So, either you're lying now or you're an idiot. Which is it?

It's not true that nobody ever thought this crisis could happen. It's not true that the WaPo report on Inslee's comments to Trump was "fake news." It's not true that "everybody" wants businesses reopened rapidly amid the pandemic. cnn.com/2020/03/26/pol…

Round Two of The #TrumpMadness Bracket Continues... The fifth game of today's lineup sees too heavyweight lies from Trump's "Presidency" face-off against one another. Which lie do you want to see in the Sweet Sixteen...?

@brokenbottleboy D'oh. I'd forgotten that singles were vinyl as well ;-) Can't remember much about those except I did buy Strangers on the Shore for my dad....
