“Early coronavirus fatality rates as often cited may appear worse than they actually are for a majority of the public because they do not include the many undiagnosed, asymptomatic cases; and because they do not reflect the dramatically elevated risk for the elderly compared to the rest of the population.”
“In fact, by Democrats pursuing the strategy of attacking everything President Trump does as the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it stuff, their criticism has just become white noise to many Americans.”
“I really am one of those people who are mixed on many issues and can see many legitimate sides.”
“Yes, there's still much good journalism to be found, if you know where to look. Yet, ask reporters who've been around a while, and many will tell you that a lot of good journalism is being left unpublished.”
“One death is too many - and with careful management and a lot of luck, the coronavirus sweeping the globe will be curbed, in terms of illness and loss of life.”
“Sometimes I rub people the wrong way, although I'm very polite.”

But as we move into 2020, it's important to be mindful that news organizations or those interpreting their polling results may not always be providing context that would allow us to have the most complete and accurate picture of the public's mood at a given moment.”
“From what I can tell, pollsters are generally fairly stick-to-the-facts folks. They deal in facts and statistics.”
