I do acknowledge that for folks like yourself who think democrats are all praying for recession and more coronavirus will continue to be for whatever helps Trump. Facts no longer matter to you.


So did many CDC and NIH officials and other medical experts, that it was very possible hot summer weather could make the virus stop replicating, as has occurred with previous new strains. And that in outbreaaks over the last 20 years, previous new viral strains have killed less people than the annual flu (numbers I cited in above posts). That remains factually and statistically true.

I don't see Fox hosts ever selling a Covid-19 threat ended by hot weather as a guarantee, but merely as a "let's hope so." Trump did not express any optimism that wasn't voiced by them first. And by pundits on CNN and MSNBC, and in the New York Times and Washington Post. As Ingraham, Hannity and Tucker have repeatedly shown, that Youtube deletes, and Google algorithms out of searches lists.
