Hi, my name is Anne McElheny.

And I'm Phila McAlier.

Welcome to the Anne Phil Schoop.

What's on, oh, and is what?

It's week 58, Philly.

It's week 58, which is one year, one month and two weeks since the two weeks to flatten

the curve lockdown.

So 58 weeks later of the two weeks. Yeah, okay. And what's happening on, are we, have we to flatten the curve lockdown. So 50-8 weeks later of the two weeks.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. And what's happening on? Are we flattened the curve yet? So just a couple of

funny things I saw, you know, are annoying things I saw. So I saw this, look at this photograph

from the New York Times and look at the headline that goes with it. Michigan's COVID wards are

filling up with younger patients right so you know what

you picture in your mind then this is the picture that goes with it yes James Dyer

55 yes you know by the way can I just say as a person of a certain age that I respect

the New York Times for calling me younger, a younger person.

I like that younger person.

I would have to say, though, I think in the style book of the New York Times,

I don't think I qualify as a younger person.

Yes, and one other thing I want to say is Mr. Dyer, his situation doesn't look that dire.

Get it. Why do you say that, as a medical expert now. I would now, I think I should hold you. Well, first of all, there's a cameraman in the room with him. Second of all, he... He's not wearing a mask. He's not being intubated, which is a word nobody knew about before this pandemic, but everybody knows he's not intubate. Oh, and they say he's recovering, by the way. Recovery, so Mr. Dyer, ain't that Dyer? Well, I think the only thing I want to call attention to is Mr. Dyer's age, because I think if you're going to make a headline, which is trying to terrify the people, about younger people, you know, in my head I get like, you know, I immediately think of a 14 year old. Or a 22 year old.

Or even a 22 year old, that's right, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 55, not sure. In a newspaper obsessed with race too, we should point out that Mr. Dyer appears to be African American, Mr. Black, who are more vulnerable, I believe, disproportionately. Disreportually vulnerable to the COVID virus, Chinese COVID virus. What's your point that they should say younger and person of color?

Well, they always said, I mean, they always said people of color were more vulnerable. I don't even know if that's true or not, but this is the big thing. Oh, you know, it's particularly. So, I mean, so he's not an example of a new wave or a new situation. It's more of the same. More of the same. So then we have from, and you know, I love, I have to say, this is what I do when I can't sleep at night. I look at headlines in the Daily Mail. And you know what's sad is that some of the biggest stories in this pandemic have actually been covered by the Daily Mail. And here's a story that's not getting any kind of attention at all. Literally getting very little attention.
