Excellent thread:
PBS News Hour live episode, Aug. 20, 2024
At 47:39 interview on the huge summer Covid surge w/ Eric Topol, who notes 1M US cases a day. He says Covid is same family of viruses as colds WRONG. That family is rhinoviruses. He reports high transmissible variant; waning immunity, & "abandoned mitigation” to blame. Masks encouraged. Nasal vax discussed. Decent questions from reporter. overall FAIL from huge public health figure.
South Korean news used to do updates on COVID numbers on all their news channels early on. During surges they still do 20 minute segments on COVID. This one is from yesterday. People still want this information. Wish we had this here in the US.
