i think every single day for the last week or so a new case count record has been set in the US, yet newspapers have not really reported this as a headline. they publish the numbers and charts and expect you to remember and notice.
"COVID 2X WORSE THAN PREVIOUS PEAK" just isn't what people want to hear right now? at what point is a raging (and worsening) catastrophe simply old news?
two years is the answer i guess
