    Donald Trump is flipping out because Chris Wallace just blamed him live on Fox News for screwing up the response to Covid19. Whatever you do, don’t retweet this video. It might give Trump a heart attack if this goes viral.

    It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life. The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past.

    Trump is signalling that Fox News is not right wing enough for him here, he is literally recommending another news organization which is described as "far-right" instead.

    This website is the perfect source for stupid statements to put on social science final exams with the prompt: “What is wrong with this argument?”

    It looks increasingly unlikely that COVID-19 deaths in the US will exceed those we suffered two years ago due to the seasonal flu. Do you remember that news story? That shutdown, with catastrophic costs to tens of millions? I don't. via
