From the Alliance for Science: The Cornell Alliance for Science has just released a media analysis that identifies the hot topics and major players in the misinformation “infodemic” that has accompanied the global COVID-19 pandemic. The study, which evaluated 38 million articles published by English-language, traditional media worldwide, identified over 1.1 million news articles that disseminated, amplified or reported on misinformation related to the pandemic. The misinformation conversation was dominated by 11 primary topics, ranging from conspiracy theories to attacks against Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “If people are misled by unscientific and unsubstantiated claims about the disease, they may be less likely to observe official guidance and thus risk spreading the virus.” The most popular topic was what study authors termed “miracle cures.” This topic appeared in 295,351 articles — more than the other 10 topics combined. The study found that comments by US President Donald Trump drove major spikes in the “miracle cures” misinformation topic, led by his April 24 musing about the possibility of using disinfectants internally to cure the coronavirus. Trump’s advocacy of unproven treatments such as hydroxychloroquine, as well as his admission that he was using the drug in an attempt to stave off the virus, also prompted major spikes in the misinformation conversation.

Karma...f'ing karma - “I don’t wear masks like him," Trump said of Biden. “Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from me, and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.”
Trump says he and first lady tested positive for coronavirus
Trump had been scheduled to attend a fundraiser and hold another campaign rally in Sanford, Florida, on Friday evening. But just after 1 a.m., the White House released a revised schedule with only one event: a phone call on “COVID-19 support to vulnerable seniors.”
Trump's announcement came hours after he confirmed that Hope Hicks, one of his most trusted and longest-serving aides, had been diagnosed with the virus Thursday. Hicks began feeling mild symptoms during the plane ride home from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday evening, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose private information. She was isolated from other passengers aboard the plane, the person said.
Of course my wife says this could be a hoax to garner sympathy....LOLOL.

Amazon said Thursday that 19,816 of its U.S. employees have tested positive or are presumed positive for Covid-19.
The announcement, part of a blog post published by Amazon, offers the public's first national overview of how the pandemic has hit the company's sizable domestic workforce through September 19.
According to Amazon's calculations, the company's infection rate is 42 percent lower than expected based on the general population.
"Based on this analysis, if the rate among Amazon and Whole Foods Market employees were the same as it is for the general population rate, we estimate that we would have seen 33,952 cases among our workforce," the company wrote. "In reality, 19,816 employees have tested positive or been presumed positive for COVID-19 — 42% lower than the expected number."

It finally happened, and of course it did, Trump and wife have tested positive for covid. Most likely got it from Hope Hicks who is reportedly not feeling very well at all.
Ignore the medical science, pay the price. Make fun of people wearing a masks, pay the karma.
I hope they recover and learn their lesson. The first is more likely than the second.

My first reaction was, he could be pulling people’s leg so he can say he took some miracle drug and healed- or he took nothing and healed because he thinks he is a miracle. His pathological lying is what makes us think like that. But with Hope Hicks being so ill, Trump may really have it.

I legit said the same thing... there’s a part of me that believes this is a giant political stunt... which says just how sad he/this is that is believe that

In an amazing twist of fate, and I am so incredibly done with 2020, my wife tested positive for covid at ER this morning. We took here there initially two days ago because she was having a lot of pain in her upper back right side. They examined her and discharged her saying it was a pulled muscle and possibly an infection, got scripts for naproxen and an antibiotic.
As of early this morning the pain had not improved so I made her go back. Now they say she is covid positive. She went no where between the first time there and today due to that pain. I think she contracted it at the hospital the first time.
I called my cancer team and they had me immediately go get a drive thru test and I’m just back home from that. No result yet.
F u 2020. WE STILL HERE BYOTCH!!!

So many people are giving up these days when something minor comes along and you Jimmy are so damn positive despite being hit in seemingly every possible way this year. You are a role model man. How's your daughter doing? Am I remembering right that she was diagnosed with Covid? Prayers for you every day bud and please keep us updated on your cancer and your wife's health. We care about you

Appreciate you saying that you want them to fully recover. That's very mature of you and noble. It might sound like nothing but some of the stuff I've read says something like I hope the big orange monster dies or I want Trump to die. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's fine to disagree with him politically and not like his moral and ethical compass but he is still a human and one of us.

We care about you I’m a fighter dude. You can take the boy out of Philly but you can’t take Philly out of the boy. Life is all about overcoming adversities but ya got to be mindful that you can rarely do it alone. But you gotta keep the mental in check and that’s the hardest one on one battle. So yea, fck this sht. My daughter is still no smell no taste but she is doing well. She’s hoping to get back to work next week. That girl has taught me about bravery all her life. This has been no different. It made her mad not sad that she got it. Same as my son. Must run in the genes lol. Thank goodness that’s as bad as it has gotten for both of my kids. Hopefully my wife doesn’t get advanced symptoms. She is still in the hospital but no real covid symptoms. Her biggest issue is the upper back pain. Thanks bud

I would never wish bodily harm to anyone unless it was self defense for me and my own. Plus I want him to be well enough to answer to his crimes that are being investigated by SDNY once he is out of office. I want to see him in prison, not a casket.

People want the country more unified and rightfully so but I think cliff, Jimmy, Dan Dan the Catcherman etc would agree that common ground from both parties should be found in wanting the president to recover. 1. He's a human being with a family, friends, and constituents 2. Republicans want him to recover to try to achieve reelected and democrats aspire to have him testify to court. Despite two drastically different opinions we should be able to achieve commonality. Even with the news yesterday, the reaching across the aisle right now is dead. I understand their is a crap ton of dissention between Republicans and Democrats but even when someone's health is in jeopardy, some still can't unite.
It's sad fellas, we can disagree constructively and still be friends afterwards but nowadays people can't seem to leave the differences in the "war room" for the lack of a better phrase

President Trump has received a dose of an experimental antibody cocktail being developed by the drug maker Regeneron, in addition to several other drugs, including zinc, vitamin D and a heartburn treatment, according to a letter from his doctor that was released by the White House Friday afternoon. Is this FAKE news <click me You all know how I feel about this clown but c'mon, seriously....AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG BEING DEVELOPED is used upon the fake leader of the free world? Not buying it. The following sounds like a lot of the hotspots where a bar/beach/restaurant is reopened and a number of people get infected
On Friday, others who had been in close contact with the president in recent days announced that they had also tested positive for COVID-19. They included Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and University of Notre Dame president John Jenkins and his former close aide Kellyanne Conway, all of whom had attended a crowded Rose Garden ceremony last Saturday announcing the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and his campaign manager, Bill Stepien. Three journalists who cover the White House also tested positive on Friday.
