Wow. Your cheek must be bruised from how deeply you planted your tongue in it.
Even on the points you bring up though, the devil is in the details. How do you have confidence that the death count numbers we're seeing are statistically relevant or not, when the CDC itself only two weeks ago said they thought it would now be a good idea
to begin tracking people who died with Covid as opposed to from Covid? Would your opinion change if the number of people killed by Covid were half or a quarter of what's being reported? Are you confident that the Covid death counts we see coming out of Ontario and Quebec these last couple of weeks are being provided in a context that accurately reflects the situation? Ontario recently reported a daily death count of 64. How many of those deaths were elderly people co-morbidities or other complications? Wouldn't it be nice to know? Anti-vaxxers are constantly told to believe "the science" when clearly those making the rules are cherry-picking facts to support their narrative. Believe me, I'm tired of the nuts and whacked-out conspiracy theories too, but let's not pretend there's no reason to doubt what we're being told.
I have been close to the world of media for my whole career and I can tell you that standards of reporting have fallen so far in the last five or six years that I read everything with a heightened sense of skepticism. Trump was a major body blow to journalism, but Covid has been the coup de grace.
