One COVID link from NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/07/16/891997539/georgia-hospital-worker-sounds-alarm-i-have-never-ever-seen-anything-like-this

NPR has more, I'm sure, but I'm supposed to be going to bed shortly, so...

Also, suggest she ask THEM for THEIR sources and point her at the Media Bias Chart (which is up to version 6 as of right now). Depending on where her friends are getting their info, their sources may not even be on the chart yet, but it's a starting place. And a good excuse to talk about how to identify actual bias vs. perceptions of bias and what non-biased vs. both-sides-ism.
