Thanks TexasGurl24 for your comments and link.
I know the NY Times (and other MSM outlets) are propaganda arms of the DNC - but I had no idea that they were distorting the facts to the extent that they did on their Liberty University article. I presumed they were distorting the story by not providing baseline numbers (e.g., a University of this size typically has x flu cases during the middle of the school year), but I had no idea that they were manufacturing a scare story out of whole cloth (I.e., no actual cases of the Wuhan flu confirmed amongst the Liberty students).
