Episode notes
Lower Fatality Rate
- COVID-19 cases are rising in many states, but deaths remain low.
- This suggests a lower infection fatality rate than initially projected, especially with younger people now getting infected.
Media Bias in COVID-19 Coverage
- The media blames rising cases on Republican states reopening.
- They ignore the protests and try to rehabilitate Andrew Cuomo, despite New York's high death toll.
Cuomo's Reopening
- Andrew Cuomo criticizes Trump's reopening, but New York's reopening hasn't caused a spike.
- This might be due to quasi-herd immunity, not Cuomo's policies.
