Main stream media have failed the world, shameful. I will always look forward for the daily briefings
Incredible incompetence and lack of leadership.
Captain of the Titanic may stay in his cabin as polls show low trust among passengers after hitting iceberg.
So instead of public health, his only concern is rating impact. Nothing new here...
