You may think America's Covid response was hobbled by partisanship, and blame one party or the other as a result. But in fact there was hardly any real partisan divide before vaccines arrived. A thread of the myth of early-pandemic partisanship. (1/x) https://t.co/oATIn8oW80

How news media works (or a bit of it, as exemplified by Covid recently)

Every time I mention that >6000 people are being hospitalized and >500 dying weekly from COVID, people are completely shocked! I get blank stares, "no way!" and "how come they aren't they saying anything about it?" Great thread on why. https://t.co/XrJuRF9HLN
