  Is that a meme or something? I checked the current front page, and I think it's only half bad. > Coronavirus: UN warns of 'catastrophe' over school closures; France says second wave likely Negative > US Donald Trump flounders in interview over US Covid-19 death toll Neutral > Spain Country speculates over whereabouts of scandal-hit ex-king Juan Carlos Neutral > A good sign Sailors stranded on Pacific island saved by giant SOS in sand Positive > Climate crisis Rising temperatures will cause more deaths than all infectious diseases – study Negative > TikTok China hits out at US 'smash and grab' as tech row deepens China hits out at US 'smash and grab' as tech row deepens Probably negative > Thailand Country orders new investigation into Red Bull heir's alleged hit and run Probably positive > Brexit Number of UK citizens emigrating to EU has risen 30% since vote on withdrawal Neutral > Thailand Protesters openly criticise monarchy in Harry Potter themed rally Probably positive > Mexico Giant dam poised to displace indigenous people and flood graves Negative So four negatives and three positives. Maybe people just focus too much on the negatives?
