      As terrible as it is that one in 500 Americans have died of Covid, it’s still much easier to have gone through the pandemic without having a close friend or family member die of it than it would be if the toll were one in 50, says @DouthatNYT. https://nyti.ms/3kjU6tR

      Fairness demands I add that the Douthat column is much more thoughtful than this tweet summary by the times would suggest.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/18/opinion/covid-coronavirus-death.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytopinion …

          Yet he still frames it as a both sides thing. Douthat’s counterfactual is a fantasy.pic.twitter.com/H77KH8tIB2

          Thoughtful, but still falls into some inaccuracies/confusion I find conservative writing on this. Particular when it comes to calculating death and relationships around it. Many Black Americans know someone who’s been killed or hospitalized, for instance.

          The Times own reporting contradicts Douthat showing 1/3 of Covid fatalities in US are linked to long term care facilities as of June. It is frankly a myth to continue to claim this is a disease of nursing homes while recognizing they’re disproportionatehttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-nursing-homes.html …
