Look at President Trump's tweets from this afternoon, railing against reporters whom have received "Noble Prizes" for reporting on Russia. They are entertaining, to say the least.
I’m not much of a statician, I assume that someone somewhere keeps a database of deaths. The last few major pandemics have been scary, quelled easily, and the survival rate has been pretty optimistic compared to the pandemics of old. Spanish flu killed so many people, but, in today’s world with today’s technology, I doubt it would have been as scary or as impactful as it was back then.
We take a version of Spanish Flu every year when we go out for our flu shots as you know.
You may want to read the post I wrote previously about how Covid is much different from what we have experienced with a normal flu or cold.

I agree it’s different. Its more contagious and can be transmitted fairly easily. What then, if you were the media, would you say to the public knowing that people were dying at normal flu rates from an unknown virus?
With all this hype, all this terror, panic, end-of-the-world sensationalism that we are being fed day after day by the media. Is there any chance, given their history of trying this before, that they are using a common cold/flu to literally destroy our economy?
CNN leads the way when it comes to One Story Journalism, choosing to grasp the hot button du jour and run with it until they can't no more. What concerns me though is that there's a deeper plot going on. One that has been tried before recently and failed. Perhaps this is another attempt at destroying the economy for the sake of political change?
If that turns out to be the case, how can we hold them accountable?
Let me guess... You're also part of the cohort that believes the media let Obama get away with everything, right? If covering the President to expose their failures equates to "trying to destroy the economy" then isn't that what those people were trying to do for Obama?
Or if the media only supposed to cover for Conservative Presidents for the sake of the economy?
Oh, I see. So, because you have not been personally affected, to hell with everyone else.
Another round of Clorox on the Rocks for EVERYONE!!
I don’t drink. Ive been affected similarity to you Im sure. Why aren’t you pissed that you’re sitting at home right now? Lowe’s employees are working, so are Pizza Hut’s. Why haven’t the media come down on Pizza Hut for endangering the rest of us?

Covid is not the flu. There have already been over 200,000 deaths in just a couple of months. Research how many people have died from the flu in any two-month period.
What's the possibility that media is just doing their job of keeping people informed?
