Fox is right to be concerned. Very concerned. This could be a legal bloodbath. Discovery will undoubtedly show that its personnel were putting out falsely comforting information it knew to be false and misleading in order to sync up with WH messaging.

@ccthansard @allisonpearson Too long for a tweet so I answered this on @Quora

Last night Andrew Neil organised repeated pile ons of his abusive followers against me, for pointing out that the numbers in this study are wrong.

This morning, the author of the study significantly revised the numbers.

@ccthansard @allisonpearson I was right, you are insane.

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@ccthansard @allisonpearson >> This was either an accidental or deliberate release from such a Chinese laboratory....

If you actually believe that, you're insane.

Viruses like this appear naturally and we've been expecting and predicting something like this for years.

This virus is SARS-CoV-2.

@oliviasolon Well done you! I'll assume you'll overtake me, since I only have 12 minutes of today left ;-)

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@ccthansard @allisonpearson In that case, what's your excuse?

It should be a criminal offense to peddle crackpot conspiracy theories when people are dying.

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@ccthansard @allisonpearson Are you peddling a lie because you're stupid or are you a paid troll?

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

Boom. [via @RestlessNews]

@edzitron @zsk Once you've got past the stage of trying to buy a drink in a bar, I don't think it matters much for men.

I don't think I noticed any effects either way until the first time an attractive young lady offered me her seat on the tube. That told me I looked a lot older than I felt...

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@mschlapp Nobody "opines" that @realDonaldTrump is "untruthful". It's a well known fact that he is, as @tedcruz said, a pathological liar.

Trump lies every time he opens his mouth, and he's won Liar of the Year awards.

So, either you're lying now or you're an idiot. Which is it?

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

It's not true that nobody ever thought this crisis could happen. It's not true that the WaPo report on Inslee's comments to Trump was "fake news." It's not true that "everybody" wants businesses reopened rapidly amid the pandemic. https://t.co/DZOp17cfdr

#TRUMPMADNESS BRACKET

The Second Round Continues...

Which of these TRUMP LIES deserves to make the #TrumpMadness SWEET SIXTEEN? Remember to retweet all polls for visibility, and thanks for playing along!

Head-to-Head, which Trump Lie was bigger...?

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@zsk @edzitron Right now it's probably better than being in your 70s....

Round Two of The #TrumpMadness Bracket Continues...

The fifth game of today's lineup sees too heavyweight lies from Trump's "Presidency" face-off against one another.

Which lie do you want to see in the Sweet Sixteen...?

[Jack Schofield @jackschofield]

@brokenbottleboy D'oh. I'd forgotten that singles were vinyl as well ;-)

Can't remember much about those except I did buy Strangers on the Shore for my dad....
