LETTER: Media focus on negative with pandemic numbers

The sixth paragraph of the Tuesday article by Mary Hynes reads, “Clark County was one of five Nevada counties flagged on Monday by state officials for experiencing elevated disease transmission, as measured by increasing positivity rates and new cases per capita.”

Why didn’t the article state, “The daily report of state fatalities has now declined for four days straight and is 0.0183 percent (96,178 confirmed cases with 1,759 fatalities) down from 0.0188 percent the day before. The total fatalities in Clark County as a percentage of those tested have also continued to decline to 0.0186 percent”?

Why can’t the Review-Journal report the news from a more accurate and positive viewpoint?
