The media is largely responsible for this hysteria. They have way over-reacted to this virus. Most healthy people won’t even get sick, and if they do, it will be mild and they’ll recover fully. The elderly, or those with compromised immune systems, have to be especially careful – but that would apply to any contagious disease going around. The elderly and less immune are always in greater danger. So are infants and very young children. That’s usually the case with all of these epidemics.
The flu kills far more people every year than this virus has, but the extremely biased “news” media won’t even point that out. They aren’t even making a pretense at being balanced. They have one agenda only, and that is to harm our president by causing the economy to tank, and making sure he gets blamed for it. The more panic they can create, the more it will affect our economy, and they’re hoping that voters will punish Trump at the polls and he won’t get re-elected. Are any of us really fooled by these tactics?
Using common sense, taking care of oneself and keeping up with basic good hygiene is the best way to ensure one doesn’t become infected. Staying away from hot spots where the virus has taken hold, avoiding overseas travel until it runs its course and peters out, avoid coughing and sneezing on others – all of this is just basic good practice, and most of the time, that is enough.
All of this hysterical reaction is doing more harm than good. And the media keeps fueling it. Keeps pouring gasoline onto the fire. They need to be held accountable for being so irresponsible, but I doubt that will ever happen.
