Two doctors and urgent care center owners advocating for the end of California’s “shelter-in-place” order have become Fox News’ latest cause célèbre — even though their conclusions have been roundly dismissed by the medical community.
The ‘doctors’ were wrong and so was Fox News. Nothing to see here, move along.
ETA: Even if you accept the accuracy of the facts or analysis from these nominal physicians – and there is no compelling reason to do either given the dubious utility of existing test kits and the doctors’ manifest lack of expertise – their conclusion would only apply to individual risk, not to a population containing nonconsenting and vulnerable individuals all of whom would none-the-less be forced to endure wave after wave of recurring infections from individuals electing to gamble.
And, yeah, Fox News needs to re-name itself Murder Inc.
Fox News is a virulent cancer on the body politic. Its so-called reporting is dangerous and deadly. Period.
Leave it to Fox “News” to emphasize crackpot conspiracy theorists rather than true experts. In related news, Fox “News” viewers are more likely to get the Coronavirus than those who don’t watch.
I hope Fox “News” gets sued into oblivion for its intentionally false — and life threatening —— programming.
Trump lies, Fox lies, . . . . Americans die.
I live in Georgia, outside Atlanta and starting early last week we had a spirited back and forth discussion on Next Door about the governor opening up the states to what are clearly Non-Essential businesses.
One guy in particular seemed pretty fishy. He kept pushing this story of these two docs in Bakersfield CA. Hold on to your hats folks this coming election is going to be very confusing on all kinds of sites.
Trump branded. Of course:
When you are brain dead you have Fox News to inform you you have a PHD.
And it should be treated accordingly and excised.
Congresscritter Kevin McCarthy’s district. Should have known.
Whoa - don’t scare me like that! I thought you meant Dr Oz and Dr Phil!
Radio Rwanda strikes again.
What do you call the guy who graduated last in his class at med-school?
Doctor.

Found’em.
Gee, why would two doctors who own and operate a chain of bargain basement, for-profit urgent care facilities in an economically disadvantaged area want to encourage people to interact with each other more closely in the midst of a virulent plague? Where might all the people in that area who have no health insurance go when they get sick? And why would Fox News, whose on-air talent and executives are all wealthy, privileged and receive their health care from providers who cater to their individual needs in exclusive settings want to join in that encouragement? It’s a real mystery.
Yup.
How many ways to be evil.
Let us count 'em.
So these were ‘more’ of ‘Dr.’ Laura’s ‘medical panel’. Good grief. How many of THESE people are holing up?
I went to an urgent care center on Saturday (for a bacterial infection) and I was the only patient in the place. The PA on duty said business there had almost completely dried up over the last month.
UCC execs are desperate to get clients back!
Yep, it’s the old
let’s trot out the one PhD who denies climate change
Now that FOX fired Diamond & Silk they needed another dynamic duo. Now they have one.
