Former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson called out The New Yorker for reporting coronavirus hospitalization figures that the magazine later admitted were inaccurate. On Saturday, Berenson called out the error in what he described as "panic porn." "It should come as no surprise that the most crucial and scariest fact in this New Yorker piece of panic porn is wrong: @johncassidy reports that 12,673 people 'are hospitalized' in Florida with #coronavirus, up 4,000 in a month. Florida has never had over ~2,000 people hospitalized with #Covid, 3.5% of its total hospital beds. It also added a note to the bottom of the report: "A previous version of this piece incorrectly described Florida’s hospitalization count."
