    But this is incredibly overrated per usual.

      I just think stuff like this is unnecessary. Like 5 kids worldwide have been infected, and they are actually handling it way better than adults. They've only had minor symptoms.

        What do you want me to say. We do this seeming every 5 years or less.

        The avian bird flu. Sars. Swine flu. Ebola.

        These apparently were how we were all gonna die. And I when I was younger the news scared me like alot of people.

        Now I just could care less. I've lived through all these pandemics. It'll be ok. Till the next virus and we do this all over again.

        The coronavirus is not new either. This isn't a new virus by any means.

          That doesn't read as particularly alarmist to me.

            I'm definitely not on that side, is all I'll say.

              Although I should dial it back some. I can definitely understand how those in Asia and surrounding areas are nervous about this.

              My comments are more geared towards the U.S. I'm not worried at all about it getting out of control in the U.S.

                I dunno why people would be surprised the way the media would present this. "If it bleeds, it leads." the corona virus is right in their wheelhouse. it benefits them to have the economy tank over the next 8-9 months. that's inside the U.S.

                there are other less fortunate countries that the virus will undoubtedly devastate lives, especially the vulnerable like the old, the young and the already sick. they need to do more than be cautious (which is the way way America should approach) and be full on alert. and there's a reason there isn't a good forum for this topic on OS (Entertainment? Technology? was the Combat Sports forum overcrowded?) there isn't a good forum for this topic on OS because the devil is in the details.

                  Despite what Sean, Laura, and Tucker say the legitimate media has not engaged in fear-mongering. Sugarcoating a problem to placate their boss is not in the best interest of the country.

                    I'll just drop this hear, not taking one side or another in regards to the political scope. This is specifically to disprove the point that they are not placating their boss.

                        Well, this thread really should be in the OS Neighborhood

                        It does seem like the news reports I've seen have focused more on how fast it is spreading and how many people have died without really mentioning what populations are most at risk. It's not always just the news media though, social media can generate hysteria as well with the spread of half-truths or whatnot.
