Factual news is now a commodity. These orgs can only differentiate and attract views via opinion, confirmation bias ego scratching, and manipulating emotions. 
 

My favorite news activity is to visit MSNBC.com, cnn.com, and Foxnews.com back to back. 
 

It’s funny and terrifying how each manipulates news to feed a narrative.

Not sure if you saw Killer Mike's speech in ATL but I loved seeing him go after CNN for their constant stream of FUD they spew.

Yeah, not too sharp to infect the one group we know will have a tough time with the virus.  And I don't even think they made use of the ship, nor the Javits center.

In Seattle, the same nursing home staff were taking care of Covid and non Covid residents. Geez, I wonder how 80% got the virus?

Yeah, I like to do CNN and Fox back and forth and see the differences in coverage.

Ooh yeah, sorry I didn’t include it in my post. But my gym is not allowing more than 15 people at a time. But, honestly I think that number is too high. It’s a small location having that many people in there would be kinda crowded without the Rona. 

My gym is pretty big, and if there were "only" 15 people in there it would look almost empty.

The fire marshall code is what I was thinking as well. I view the gym as too crowded when I have to wait for a spot to workout, so I’m there prior to 5am when there are few people and everyone there is taking care of business and not socializing. Nevertheless, I’ll be there tomorrow and for the foreseeable future (hopefully).

I've worked out at a bunch of different times and days of the week.  Its funny how different the vibe is at different times.  With early morning workouts, that crowd was so much more about their workout than the after work crowd.  Monday's after work are the worst, so I made Monday's my rest day years ago.  If I really want peace with nobody in the gym, that's Friday evening.  Holy cow its a ghost town.

That whole thing was amazing.

Yeah, that was the best thing I have seen from this whole tragic episode so far. Basically nothing at all I disagreed with. 

I hope people listen. I hope they keep organizing, protesting, engaging in thoughtful and meaningful discourse(so, not on the internet), and being politically active. It blows my mind that the partisans can spin this as a political tool. It is fuging disgusting. 

Let people not forget who the partisans were during the struggle and let them not forget that they couldn't disengage from their "team" to deal with this. This isn't just a civil rights struggle, it is a HUMAN rights struggle. Abuse and injustice should be the least partisan issue of them all.

I view it different, particularly at my gym.  So I will be there and I will do whatever they tell me to do.  I think the worst case scenario is a bar/club type place.  I told my wife its going to be a while before I go back to a bar, which is saying alot because we love going to bars once or twice a week.  I'll do a restaurant, but not a bar.

What makes your gym special and unique? If it's indoors and people are huffing and puffing, it's the perfect coronavirus vector. It's pretty much the perfect situation for maximum respiratory exchange.

WHO are you?  Really, the WHO that initially said this wasn't bad, to crap--the whole world is in dire straits, is now saying asymptomatic people ARE NOT VECTORS!

Wow, so this whole time we closed off the economy to healthy people was a farce.  Ugh.

Asymptomatic People are VERY Unlikely to Spread COVID-19

That’s false.  My dad’s job they temp checked everyone who came to work and asked if anyone had symptoms.  65 got sick same day.

So the WHO got it wrong again?  That wouldn't shock me.  They've been chasing their tail the entire time with this thing.  If they put enough narratives out there, one of them is bound to be correct.

Just telling you from experience.  Both of my parents had it.  My dad thought he had allergies and he ended up getting my mom sick.

It’s worse than that. The WHO got it wrong about getting it wrong.
