$1?? " In October 2013, the paper's longtime controlling family, the Graham family, sold the newspaper to Nash Holdings, a holding company established by Jeff Bezos, for $250 million in cash.

On the other issue the Post is simply leading with the story about the sloppy work done at Wuhan. No agenda. You know it is a beautiful thing when people have the ability to understand the differences between a news story and an op-ed. When they can't it is sad, very sad.

I think it's pretty clear that ApS doesn't understand, or intentionally manipulates, facts. There's a sizable history, especially recently, to support that.

In any case, here's an opinion piece by someone who thinks we went too far: https://www.am1100theflag.com/opinio...e-gone-too-far

Default Hopefully Harvard is credible to most?

"Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:

Disease

coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)

Virus

severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)"


I quote the above to help with the article from Havard

"Abstract
It is urgent to understand the future of severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. We used estimates of seasonality, immunity, and cross-immunity for betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 from time series data from the USA to inform a model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We projected that recurrent wintertime outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 will probably occur after the initial, most severe pandemic wave. Absent other interventions, a key metric for the success of social distancing is whether critical care capacities are exceeded. To avoid this, prolonged or intermittent social distancing may be necessary into 2022. Additional interventions, including expanded critical care capacity and an effective therapeutic, would improve the success of intermittent distancing and hasten the acquisition of herd immunity. Longitudinal serological studies are urgently needed to determine the extent and duration of immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Even in the event of apparent elimination, SARS-CoV-2 surveillance should be maintained since a resurgence in contagion could be possible as late as 2024."https://science.sciencemag.org/conte...cience.abb5793.

Most don't get the crutch of what you are stating.

Few comprehend the difference between the news and the opinion shows.

Chris Wallace of Fox News stated it best.

Fox News has two separate departments.
The News
and
The Opinion Shows.
