Looping.. the governments and WHO are looping..
Seeing Trump, Ukraine flag.. Donald Trump and Elon Musk good case in point for why the pandemic is separate beast from covid..
Why the strong reaction to their tweets and media coverage and why there are calls for them to be banned when Twitter is free to use for all.
Perceived media indiscretion by virtue of their role and possible influence. Sorta same for celebs when they say supposed sexist racist remarks. EM and DT imo like using twitter and use it like a regular person, just tweets out loud. They don't see any problem w it, not abusing any special rights etc. Rem when EM tweeted abt Ukraine should seek peace plan and there was an uproar..
Same problem here. Health professionals, gov officials, experts, researchers gabbing to reporters abt "findings", possibly the next big thing. They say, assume, forecast, pulling big numbers from thin air mostly as individuals = we read as medical certainty bcos they have some professional badge. Even if article says still subject to peer review ladida..
I think it matters v lil now what data China shares or doesn't. Verdict already out. The whole world has already reacted and behaving as if what the press has said. Variant anytime now. China bomb just waiting to blow. Even tho only 1bn chinese exist and 250m infected in 20 days + w already infected technically should be done by now. Billions infection when the world still in single digit bn. Doomsday is inevitable..
Public/gov roles cannot think out loud.. certain professions too. Bcos mayhem. This is just for normal times. When in pandemic mode.. That's why companies have media policies..
