What's this?

Meanwhile, Devin Nunes is far more concerned with the unemployment numbers.

He's not wrong that we should also be worried about the economy. Devin Nunes on Fox News:

"I think quite frankly all of America's politicians and the media need to stop looking at the death counters and I think ... we need to look at the death rate. Let's see what that's going to do. We need a lot more data. Let's stop looking at the death counters and let's talk about how we can keep as many people employed as possible," he said.

"That's the key right now, Laura, because if you don't, what you said earlier is correct: When you have people staying at home, not taking care of themselves, you will end up with a hell of a lot more people dying by other causes then you will by the coronavirus."
