I find the media reporting to be managed and incomplete.
No comparisons of what is currently going on VS the past 12 months....
Percentages say NOTHING!!!!! Headline....cases double this week....(ok last week there were 4) now there are 8....but the cases doubled....example only...pick a number/% you like.
What does new case mean.....how many had no symptoms?...vaccinated? Not vaccinated?...how many survived?
and on and on.
The report from the CDC at least provides a perspective that the media chooses not to pursue:
