Early, in the article, is a statement about the States rejection of Trump's hinting at loosening social distancing measures, not Reuters' opinion. Though all news is editorial to some extent, choosing to amplify the states' voices here is a choice, and reporting on their resistance to the president is also.
You're over thinking this, or trying to start a controversial argument. That violate's HN's rules.
- sgregnt 7y agoI think to make a solid argument one way or another, one needs also to take into account medical and scientific opinion regarding the number of people that are going to die in the longer run because of economy stagnation.
- codezero 7y agoHeads up- I made an edit that may make your comment seem off I originally had just responded "Medical and scientific experts" or something to that extent. Appreciate your comment, it does make a good point. I think the difference is that virus deaths are more predictable than the economy as a whole, so if we know we can move one lever to limit the known damage, the desire to move to a nebulous and often partisan economic approach is a bit concerning for a lot of folks.
