Do you think reporting is being restricted?

I have noticed that the news and reporting is quite different from lots of news stories. No footage of outside hospital's, no interviews with relatives or people with the virus or the medics. Initially there was some but now they only seem to show scenes in other countries. Is this by agreement with all news agencies? It feels odd compared to the usual circus! Not sure I mind just curious if others have noticed.

A lot of Nazi scientists were spirited away after WW2 to Western countries. A lot of them are very pissed off that we were horrified by what they had done.
WTF? What age are these scientists now? Grin

The power structures that supported their work are still extant.

Is this suddenly about Operation Paperclip? Confused

I think there must be some underreporting of what it’s like in hospital to avoid panic. We’re getting the ‘this is what’s it’s like in Italy’ but very few reports on mainstream tv of what it’s like in hospitals here.
