The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 6/25/20 - six months til Christmas

2020-06-25T13:19:54+00:00

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News At 6:03am Confirmed cases worldwide - 9,471,327 Deaths worldwide - 483,918 Confirmed cases US - 2,396,026 Deaths US - 122,664 Frankly, now I'm watching to see how quickly the US cases and deaths hit new round numbers: 2.4 million cases, 123-thousand deaths. I have noticed that death rates are slowing, but they're still going up. But HOLY COW, almost NINE-AND-A-HALF MILLION cases worldwide?

6. I must say MSNBC has been running those four revolving graphics lately.

Jun 2020

All four of 'em - the Countries with Most Cases, States with Most Cases, the map, and Total Confirmed Cases/Deaths - are back. And I'm writing this post at almost 1pm, Pacific time. All morning they've been going back to those graphics again. Which I appreciate!

That tells me the network sees this, once again, as a big deal. They blew off showing those graphics in the last few weeks, after states started opening up, some recklessly so, and there was evidently not as great an urge to continue the statistics, onscreen, regularly throughout the broadcast day - or at least the first part of it. Almost 1pm is almost 4pm on the east coast where all the programming decision-makers are located.

Just an aside:
When I worked for NBC Radio, I worked on both coasts. And I got a sense of how east-coast-centric the networks were - all of them. I remember being back in California and the news producer in NYC directed me to lead with a power failure in midtown Manhattan that had, among other problems, lots of people in high-rise buildings stuck in elevators. I thought it shouldn't be the lead - it's a New York story. Should be in the newscast but not the lead because there was other stuff going on. The producer snapped back "it affects five million people! You WILL lead with it!" Well, okay.
