I am not sure why the news media cannot present information on COVID-19 so people can be informed and not freakout.
Could it be the news media knows fear drives ratings, ratings drive advertisements and advertisements generate revenue?
I would encourage everyone to stare at this data daily and realize it’s concerning but lets not freakout.
