No, certainly haven't seen the worst yet. By early November the Black Death will certainly pale in comparison to covid. Until at least the 4th, then it's smooth sailing when Joe brings us out of the darkness into the light.

‘I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.'
> does the media magnify the negative and ignore the positive developments (of which there are plenty)?
The media crafts its daily narrative with an eye on objectivity and plays right down the middle. Just the facts, always. To suggest otherwise is quite dangerous.
Yeah, he was amusing too with his rants and general disposition. Came up on my instagram feed, he's into art and oil painting. Don't know about his tech lately. Jumped on that DHH hype train back in the day. Actually still have a rails app running mongrel from back then.
It's not like the "news" is the source of truth etched in stone, is it?
I imagine most people were reading and probably understanding the "news" in March.
That's when Dr. Fauci, the U.S. Surgeon General, the World Health Organization, and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all made "news" by stating there was no reason people in the U.S. needed to wear a mask. Politicians making the "news" by eating in Chinese restaurants. I recall the "news" taking time to chastise the hoi polloi who chose to ignore the "news" and wore masks anyway. I think the general mantra was something on the order of "masks only help frontline professionals, blah blah blah... you uniformed morons". I'm sure it's healthy to have a healthy skepticism of the "news".
