Slightly off topic - I have not heard of this website, what is the general sense in the community about the quality of the content here? It looked interesting but I am always skeptical of trying new places because a lot of times they are just fronts for certain ideologies and tend to spin the content to suit them. And there is only so much time one has to critically evaluate everything and sift through the nonsense, this is the main reason I have stopped following news.

They are fairly reputable, I believe formed by a group of former GOP "never Trump" types who are trying to regain a semblance of reasonable exposition of conservative (or contrarian) views without engaging in the .. words fail me here .. that passes for conservative sites today.

So I would expect them to be reasonable, but perhaps not without a specific point of view that may bias the selection of topics and writers.

Thanks. I am actually fine with a specific point of view as long as it is spelled out. I understand that people have different value systems leading to different outlooks on topics and in most things there is no one right answer, what I dislike are the ones which are sly.

While I think the view is a little too optimistic, I think some interesting points are raised, in particular to the virus finding ways to pockets of vulnerable people.

I believe that's why we saw all those deaths in Bergamo, Italy, because the virus arrived first in hospitals (where people staying there aren't, by definition, healthy) and then in nursing care homes.

Sadly I don't think there's much data on this, also due to the different responses by different countries.

Surely someone better qualified than me can make some pertinent remark? It all makes sense to me but what about an epidemiologist's opinion?
