CNN has been abysmal, seeking to score political points at every turn. You could read the headlines in the NYT this morning and believe we are Italy in early March.
Good news on the improving data is grudgingly acknowledged, if at all. Distancing has clearly been effective and that should be the headline.

I have been watching Canadian news and our news outlets are pretty homogeneous across all channels we don’t have the same extremism up here and we don’t have prime time “ entertainment “ “opinion” based news.
Our news is pretty boring but mostly just facts without additional commentary and would not call it fear mongering and the information coming from them is not ****ing good it’s bad on all the channels . I think you guys need to stop seeing things in black or white extremes because it is starting to mess with your minds. Now is it as bad as some channels in the US are making it out now but the channels who are downplaying it are not helping either.
