Tom Brady  - pretty much the only current "sports" story since everything is shut down due to COVID-19

Kevin Durant - tested positive for COVID-19

Defence Production Act - invoked by the POTUS as a response to the COVID-19 crisis on Wednesday

St Patrick's Day

Oprah - subject of a fake trolling story that a property she owned was raided for human trafficking

 

Perhaps the COVID saturation bombing campaign on the TV networks obviated any need to search for COVID data?

Yes, but really, really, smart people will know there are lies, damned lies and statistics. For instance:

 

Quote

 

In Wuhan itself, the City of Doom, some 2,446 souls departed their fleshly existence earlier than expected. Google tells us the city has between 11 and 19 million, depending on whether you count the entire metro area as “the city”.

The city had 49,995 cases. The case rate was 0.26% to 0.45%, depending on what China called “the city”. The total dead rate was 0.01% to 0.02%. The case dead rate was 4.9%.

What we do not know however is if there is a second wave happening as I seem to recall has happened with other viral pandemics. I do worry that the news from China is more carefully manipulated to comply with state needs than that of the  UK, which I don't doubt is also "manicured".
