Fox to Trump: “Ignore Alarmist COVID Drivel”

Until the coronavirus, few Americans thought too much about pandemic management.  In the last few months, however, we’ve come to understand at least a few basic concepts, perhaps the most central of which is this: You will never know if you’ve overkilled the virus, but you will be acutely aware that you’ve “underkilled” it, and wish in vain that you had done more.

Given that, why any public figure would advise against caution here?  Suppose, for instance, that Trump follows the recommendation of Fox News, where anchor Laura Ingraham told the president to ignore the “alarmist COVID drivel from here on out.” What happens in the highly probable event that there is another spike and hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans die needlessly?

How are these folks going to fare in a class action lawsuit where plaintiffs number in the six or perhaps seven figures?

If your game is calling the progressives names like “libtards” and “snowflakes” and “treehuggers,” that’s fine.  But pretending that science doesn’t exist so you can jeopardize the health and safety of an entire population?  Unconscionable.
