      I don't buy the whole "COVID is just an anti-Trump plot to tank the economy" thing, but let's be frank: a bunch of blue-jurisdiction mayors & governors are showing that their thought process on these questions is quite different now that their party runs the White House.https://twitter.com/Suntimes/status/1353003564369633281 …

      JUST IN: Gov. Pritzker’s health team officially gave the green light Saturday for restaurants and most bars across Chicago and suburban Cook County to invite customers back inside for indoor service. https://bit.ly/2MfEFV5

      Many things that kinda look like conspiracies are really just groupthink, motivated reasoning, peer pressure, & responsiveness to incentives & media coverage.

      Again, this is more than adequately explained by incentives.https://twitter.com/MatthewnBklyn/status/1353085099215085569 …

      Yeah but then an hour after inauguration, WHO updated COVID "positive criteria" to lower the positivity rate. Says we’ve been getting too many false positives. Too many coincidences.

          Well, yeah. The incentive was getting Trump out of the way so WHO could resume taking our taxpayer money.

          But how doesn't this fit the narrative that it was an anti-Trump thing? This isnt breaking news just because WHO finally admitted it.
