#JOURNALISM: 

 

How Misinformation About the U.S. Needing ‘1 Million Ventilators’ Spread. 

 

“The error conflates the total number of ventilators required with the number of patients who may need the use of a ventilator over the course of the pandemic. How the error spread is a cautionary if convoluted tale.” The press has also done with ventilators what they accuse Trump of doing with chloroquine, turning a sometimes-useful treatment into a talisman.

 

Only about 50% of patients on ventilators are surviving at best. And coronavirus aside, ventilators are dangerous: If you put a bunch of healthy people on ventilators for ten days, a nontrivial number would die. If you need a ventilator and don’t get one you will almost certainly die; if you need a ventilator and do get one, well, you might not die. Securing enough ventilators is part of dealing with this epidemic, but it’s not the only part, or even the most important part.

The thing to remember about these people is that they’re not very bright, and they don’t think that you are either.

Actually, it’s gone for as little as 89 cents per gallon recently. No, that’s not the average. But then, nobody said it was.

 

I’ve also seen journalists with an IQ under 90, but that’s not the … well, hell, who really knows?

CBS again (the thread documents her fraud):
 

 

And the tweet in the pandemic thread showed her trying to be an IG model in a swimsuit.
I cannot unsee that ?

Yet CBS had a producer add music, captions, etc to it without even vetting this fraud. Good job guys.

 

Thats because MSM producers aren't as concerned with facts, details, and truth as they are with advancing their Narrative

So brutally irresponsible.

 

The rush to get headlines is a major problem for the media. You would think they would have learned their lessons with Smollett, and Duke University, and the kid who stood up to the Indian, etc. The desire to create fear and push a narrative is SO much more important to the media than any amount of accountability.

 

But no.

 

Fear first. Apologies later.

Couldn’t agree more! NYC lost 3,000 in one day on 9/11. We didn’t shut down restaurants in Omaha!

 

Not the right analogy.  

 

After some people did something with airplanes, the entire airline industry was grounded, because no one new if more people would do something.

 

In this case, you're preventatively shutting places down to slow the spread

It’s of course Hard to find an analogy that fits this circumstance perfectly but it’s close in terms of scale and to our national reaction, and it’s impact was also NYC centric. We had no idea where the next terrorist would strike but yet I was on an airplane in California about three days later. It was a quiet flight but I was still on it.
