What about the NYC Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot tweeting in February (https://twitter.com/NYCHealthCommr/status/122404315585253786...):

As we gear up to celebrate the #LunarNewYear in NYC, I want to assure New Yorkers that there is no reason for anyone to change their holiday plans, avoid the subway, or certain parts of the city because of #coronavirus.

And then again in March (https://twitter.com/NYCHealthCommr/status/123429834432909312...):

Despite this development, New Yorkers remain at low risk for contracting #COVID19. As we confront this emerging outbreak, we need to separate facts from fear, and guard against stigma and panic.

Or the NYC Chair of New York City Council Health Committee tweeting (https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC/status/1226566648729133056):

In powerful show of defiance of #coronavirus scare, huge crowds gathering in NYC's Chinatown for ceremony ahead of annual #LunarNewYear parade. Chants of "be strong Wuhan!"

If you are staying away, you are missing out

Or Bill de Blasio tweeting (https://twitter.com/BilldeBlasio/status/1234648718714036229):

Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see “The Traitor” @FilmLinc . If “The Wire” was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film.

Or does it only count when its Fox News?



Yes, those are mistakes as well. We don't have to delve into whataboutism in order to point out the wrongness of something.
