John Oliver is right

Lots of sites are noting John Oliver's critique of the appalling Fox News/conservative media - Trump feedback loop.   It's particularly sickening to see the patent money-hungry hypocrisy of running one line on the screen and a completely different one within the corporation:
Fox News underestimated the danger of the coronavirus early on but as the death toll mounted, they were behind the scenes suspending non-essential business travel and had their employees cancel in-person meetings and summits. They also encouraged them to conduct business via Skype. According to Oliver, they did this because “they only tend to believe these things on television for money.”

You underestimated the danger early on too. Thats pretty much the nature with exponential growth. Plus it took awhile to prove that this was biowarfare.
