I don't think so. I think you're misinterpreting the point I'm making.

In a normal world, the headlines would read like this:

"The UK has the highest deaths per capita, don't do what they did!"
"Don't emulate Spain!"
"Italy is suffering, don't let it happen here!"
"The Belgian covid disaster, what happened and how we can make sure it doesn't repeat in the US!"

That's in an ideal normal world, where media organizations don't do the bidding of their political masters.

That's because in the normal world, the facts look like this:

These facts also exist in our Schrodinger's dimension, but they box they're in has been shot through with agenda, so who can really tell what's inside?

My point, just to be explicit, is that information is being manipulated to serve political ends to such a degree that we're approaching Goebbels, which is the second rung right underneath Stalin.

Please note that New York and New Jersey have over THREE TIMES the per capita rate that Sweden has and all three places took the greatest hit in the same place; the aged in the nursing homes.

"New York covid disaster, if we only emulated Sweden!"
"Can New Jersey learn anything from Sweden?"

How about those headlines? I mean beyond helpful and also totally accurate. I need a link though cause these exist only in my head atm.

In the interest of not being misinterpreted further I'm not denying covid is a threat, not suggesting simple quarantine measures are ineffective, not suggesting anything to do with the efficacy of any countermeasures.

My point is that like any crisis, this one has been co-opted by people with an agenda. Unfortunately these people control vast swaths of the media, which is why people are given giant loads of bullshit in order to make them compliant and scared in order to achieve a very visible political end, which is the election of a Democrat regime in November.
