One way in which COVID media coverage is skewed is there's tons of attention to wherever cases are rising but little to where they're declining. e.g. Cases are *plunging* in NYC right now but there's almost no stories about that after weeks of scary news about variants, etc. https://t.co/E91t5G7kZT — PolitiTweet.org

Data on national hospitalization rates by age here. For age 18-49 (orange line) they've swayed around a bit but pretty steady and fairly low. https://t.co/P3gMdtsLoj https://t.co/IUQliVNCTu — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias That's part of it. But I think it's also that public health officials frame COVID news in a pessimistic light because they think it will compel people to be more cautious and reporters tend to echo that sentiment (and reporters may have some of the same sentiment themselves). — PolitiTweet.org
