Media have encouraged panic over Covid-19

We all just have to chill out about this Covid-19 virus. We’ve been through this before with Spanish flu, swine flu, mumps, measles, polio, MERS, HIV, SARS, ebola, anthrax, etc., and we made it through. Some died, (as we all will), but most didn’t.

The media especially have to stop encouraging the panic by focusing more on the “this too shall pass” point of view because it will. It’s already happening in China.

Besides, if you make an old person wait in line for four hours to get toilet paper, it’s gonna be too late.
