preview

Twitter editorialized on its trending topics Monday to tarnish the triumph of Texas and Florida re-opening amid the pandemic with low infections.ShareWhile the free states of Texas and Florida triumph in the pandemic with cases on the decline, infections are rising in liberal states under Democrat governors once celebrated by the legacy press as crisis heroes, but Twitter doesn’t want you to know that.to a Fox News analysis of Johns Hopkins University data published Sunday, New York, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are responsible for nearly half of all coronavirus cases nationwide between March 29 and April 4. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York, however, are on track to suffer the worst of the latest surge as governors continue to embrace experimental lockdowns that traumatize residents and hollow out small businesses.Over the last seven days, Fox News reported, relying on data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Michigan has seen 390 new cases per 100,000 residents, Pennsylvania 221 per 100,000, and 206 per 100,000 cases in New York.Fully open Texas and Florida reporting fewer COVID cases than Democrat-led Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York— Fox News (@FoxNews)On Twitter’s trending topics, however, the platform publisher editorialized the Fox News reporting.
