The media is hyping the coronavirus just like it hypes every

single story they do. If you ever want an accurate picture of anything you have to ratchet down the hyperbole of the screaming headlines and consult the actual experts in the field. then maybe you can make rational decisions and reach reasonable perspectives.

Keri,
I think it should be taken seriously and reasonable precautions taken, but not over-dramatized to draw in viewers.
My point is we all have to learn to find the good sense behind the hyperbole - and not just with this virus, but with every story on the news.

OK. Here's my point, recognizing we're about to get kicked of this board for being OT.
I'm just recovering from the flu. How do I know? The medical staff swabbed my nasal passage and told me I had "Type A" flu virus. My daughter and her 3 children in Virginia all had "Type B". This is in the last 2 weeks. If it weren't for this "COVID 19", I guarantee we'd be hearing about how prolific the flu virus is this winter and its various strains.
The media has to hype something. Coronavirus is just sexier than the traditional ol' flu. But that flu kept me down for 9 days.
So, back to the board topic: Go, Tigers!

Seriously, for your health and especially the well being of any person over 60 do not listen to FOX slugs. Take precautions do not listen to the mixed messages form this administration which has prevented whatever slim CDC resources remain from warning older people not to fly or take cruises or get into enclosures with a lot o people.

My friend, all news is slanted not just fox. Try MSNBC for example. Don't be led to the the cliff By the left wing nut cases. Believe in what you see,a 3.4% unemployment rate for example. No, I don't like the tweets, but I do like what is being accomplished.

hyping it on steroids, crating a false narrative. Really, its no worse than a flu and of course, people with underlying health issues should be very concerned, just like with any "flu".

Trump is using this virus to take down Trump. His response has been apathy at best and outright dangerous at worst. He's a science denying, narcissistic, unhinged loon and his administration isn't capable of handling a major crisis.
Entire countries have shut down because of this virus. It is serious and should be treated as such. The people I know watching Fox and claiming the democrats are blowing the virus out of proportion are the same people buying up all the toilet paper.

You are not going to stop the spread of any virus by shutting down entire countries or quarantining people.It's going to run it's course just like any other virus. The sky is not falling. Some of you believe anything you see on tv and the internet.

Trump is doing the best he can. He knows what going on and the virus will have to run its course. The best thing to do is pray. Its all in God's hand.
Biden is the perfect candidate. He does not know what state he is in, what day it is and what year it is so he will just go out and say what the ruling class wants. Its hard to find them a better candidate.

The real problem is we let China take over most of the world manufacturing, from car parts to medicine. They have been shut down for almost 2 months so what will that mean for shortages here in the US in the coming months? Don't count on just old people that are dying either.

Nobody " Let the Chinese " do anything with our manufacturing , they're smart business people and the wealthy ownerships in this country over the past 4 or 5 decades have steadily sold it to them for a really healthy profit ... while simultaneously screaming about how our government made it too tough to turn a profit in America and in turn screwed the working man . Oldest game in the land , make the labor believe you tried but the governmental boogeyman just wouldn't let it happen .

Again us the United States of America let this happen. You cannot just blame the greedy ruling class. We kept voting the same idiots into office but when we finally came to our sense the damage was already done and now China has got us by the throat. The ruling class does not like us messing with their sweet deal with China and will do everything in their power to keep the status quo.

AMEN BROTHER. ALL THIS SH IT IN OUR COUNTRY STARTED WHEN EVERYONE JUST HAD TO GET A PARTICIPATION TROPHY. NOTHING ANYMORE HAS TO BE EARNED. IT HAS TURNED A LOT OF PEOPLE INTO WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING TODAY. MOST EVERYONE COWERING IN THE CORNER ARE YOUNG ANYWAY. IF THEY GOT IT THEY WOULD BE WELL IN A WEEK AND SOME MIGHT NOT EVEN NO THEY HAVE IT. I AM IN THE GROUP WITH THE MOST DANGER AND I REFUSE TO LET IT CHANGE MY LIFE IN THE LEAST.

say it's rather serious.
China has managed to greatly slow the spread of the virus but they have done so in manner that is not possible in a democracy. And the lengths that they have gone to do so should be evidence enough that this is a serious threat. They've lost billions of dollars in trade, locked down hundreds of millions of people, and in some places even welded apartment building doors shut, presumably with sick residents inside.

the designation is COVID-19. A coronovirus is a virus that can be shared by animals and humans. Novel means that it is newly identified.

The flu is more deadly than this news backed attempt to crash the economy and screw this election year and the stock market. The flu has killed over 15,000 people this year in the US alone but you don't hear anything about the deadly flu. Also Lysol says it will kill the virus on the back of their cans so this isn't some new virus that just came out of no where.

Well some people are blaming the stock market crash on the Wuhan Flu. It is to blame but not what most people think. It has more to do with the supply and demand chain and Russia and Saudi Arabia trying to put an end to our Oil industry.

Had to die from H1N1 until O’Bama called for a state of emergency? It took Trump one dead American. It’s not like this is the first virus China has sent us. I would take precautions for sure, I doubt covid-19 cares who you voted for. The precaution is more for staying away from people panicking when the first case hits close to home.
