Was really impressed in the drop-off in covid news. Covid continues on at the same rate as before, is getting zero coverage, zero challenge to the CDC/WHO on giving a formal name to the "omicron" BA.4 and BA.5 variants despite so desperately needing to. The whole "it's mild" and then, well, neutralizing as many people before omicron as after, in two or three months, was an impressive anti-panic play, I'm not sure what else you could call that. Russia is sweeping through Ukraine at an impressive rate, but you wouldn't know that reading the headlines. Conservative media is telling one story, but the left is ignoring a lot of headlines as well.
