3,000,000 die every year. Assuming 100k dead number holds, this year it'll be 3,100,000 instead of 3,000,000.

yeah it definitely was the media that made that Chinese guy eat a bat in Wuhan and made all the doctors panic and beg for ventilators. Do they sensationalize. Of course. But exactly how much should they cover a global pandemic there genius??? I’ll wait. I’m quarantined and have plenty of time

Yeah the media is filling all those of the refrigerated trucks in NYC with bodies.

I haven’t heard of any doctors “panicking,” and I would venture to guess that you haven’t *personally* witnessed any doctors panicking, so I assume you heard about some panicking doctors via the media, and then you start repeating the idea that “all the doctors are panicking.” Then people read that, and so on.




This is just not true.

This is pure sensationalism. Their intent isn’t to relay facts, but to elicit an emotional response. This further contributes to the panic. If you see through the fluff and read the facts about “all the refrigerated trucks,” you see that New York (far and away the hardest-hit city in America) has implemented an existing plan to deal with deaths happening at a higher-than-normal rate. Definitely not business as usual, but these things happen, and the country is trying to deal with it.
