I have drenching myself in reports of Covid 19/Wuhan Flu for months now, and my take away are these...
Best channel for medical reporting is JAMA. W.H.O. is one of the worst because of China's obvious influence.
To get accurate reporting, I actually go to "boots on the ground" instead of legacy media like CNN. It's more difficult now because many search engines (esp. Youtube's) stack establishment services in the first twenty or thirty returns. Reuters, N.B.C., N.Y. Times, etc. hog all the best spots.
BUT if you look hard enough you can get around the unofficial blockade.
Here's what I have observed as of 4/5/20:
In the U.S. our social distancing measures have been extremely effective. We have learned costly lessons from China, and then from Italy and Spain. Yes the numbers in New York City are terrible today, but we could easily have had another zero or even two in front of these mortality totals if we weren't so careful. In NYC, there don't appear to be huge outpourings of ill people in the temporary medical tents or even the Navy rescue ship. Most ambulances in the city seem to be quite now, thankfully. This could change if we loosen the restrictions too early.
Regarding the overall political situation, our media is trying to use Covid as a lever to pry Trump out of office. This effort is futile. Gov. Cuomo is now on a media blitz to unseat Biden from his party's nomination and Cuomo will probably be successful in replacing Biden... BUT initially Cuomo was doing a solid job regarding the virus, now he is really pumping the well and appears (to me anyway) now as cloying, slightly clumsy, and over-bearing. Cuomo is over-playing his hand and won't fare well against Trump. He might work four years from today though.
