...they no longer require 30,000 vents (now projected 5000 or fewer) and the massive bed shortage is no longer predicted. Even as their cases begin to outpace nationwide growth (for obvious reasons).

And NONE of the cables are bothering to mention ANY of it. Are you SHlTTlN' me?

They all continue to lead w/ the climbing worldwide/US cases and the death toll...and, even those are given with virtually ZERO context.

So...the UK based its response on a model that predicted more that 500,000 deaths. That model has now been "revised," to indicate 20,000 overall deaths is more likely; as many as half of whom would likely die by the end of the year, due to previous underlying morbidities...and this gets ZERO attention from the stations that actually have time to report it in context (read: not restricted to a single 30 minute broadcast at 6:30pm)?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

With a cursory Google search, I found confirmation that the NYT, Washington Post, and CNN all reported (on or about 3/17) that the responses of the US and UK were based heavily on info derived from the Imperial College model.

How does this get 100% silence from the American media. ZERO?
