I had that same reaction, but - this is a GREAT message, and if it gets to the OANN people, all the better.

My cynicism regarding Trump makes me think he wants people to check out OANN.
Coincidently there are multiple tweets praising him for various things.
Perhaps I should stop being cynical and just give him credit for a great Tweet. Alright, done.
Great Tweet!
What do you figure, within the next 10 tweets he's back to being an asshole?
DAMN! I just can't help myself.

You asking me or Donald? I don't use the term "fake news". I do use the term "biased news".
I really don't give much thought to OANN. Ever. Unless someone shares a link or mentions them in a Tweet.
Just found it awfully coincidental that he added an (unnecessary?) @OANN and his Tweet was between positive news tweets pertaining to him on OANN. Very well may have been nothing more than a coincidence but his history makes me skeptical.

See above...in this case, the OANN shoutout is actually amplifying what is a very rare Correct Take.

I was asking you. I like the term "biased news" better, but I would argue that all news is biased news. It's just a matter of whether or not it is biased in the direction you prefer.

In a remarkably prophetic report last summer, the Federal Emergency Management Agency accurately predicted that a nationwide pandemic would result in a shortage of medical supplies, hospitals would be overwhelmed and the economy would shut down...

I heard that report on NPR the other day by one of the authors. Seems that the only thing they weren't accurate about was the location of the initial outbreak. They forecasted Chicago not Seattle.

Not to discredit FEMA, but I'm sure a lot of public health agencies and many others around the world could have predicted the US was not prepared for a pandemic.

It will be interesting to know if Seattle really was the initial outbreak in the US. If we ever know.

If true, HUGE. (A big IF, of course)

https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/530 ... s-antibody

A phlebotomist working at Roseland Community Hospital said Thursday that 30% to 50% of patients tested for the coronavirus have antibodies while only around 10% to 20% of those tested have the active virus.

Sumaya Owaynat, a phlebotomy technician, said she tests between 400 and 600 patients on an average day in the parking lot at Roseland Community Hospital. Drive-thru testing is from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. each day. However, the hospital has a limited number of tests they can give per day.

Owaynat said the number of patients coming through the testing center who appear to have already had coronavirus and gotten over it is far greater than those who currently have the disease.
