Why does Nature make it political in the very first line?
> Why proposals to largely let the virus run its course — embraced by Donald Trump’s administration and others — could bring “untold death and suffering”.
This should just be a description of the scientific facts in order to maintain objectivity. Let the political people run with it afterword. And it doesn't even say that it emphatically "will bring <bad thing>", it uses the weasel words "could bring <bad thing>".
This seems politically motivated; at the very least they've made it easy to mistake this as more political than scientific.
