Everyone is making a bigger deal out of Corana virus than it is...
WHO made the Corna a pandemic???? Yes, but even a simple influenza (flu) was rather as a pandemic few times....

125.000 infected
67.000 Cured
4.600 Died...

It's was less lethal than H1N1, Sars among other disease.... But hey people love to go into panic mode... Those who make alcohol and paper will win big time....

Exactly. Blame it all on the media for causing the panic and the stock market to crash. . Everyone that lost money should sue the media for causing a panic.
Yes the Corona virus a serious problem but you have a better chance of dying from the flu. Now my wife is in a panic because she can't find butt wipes. Shelve were completely empty.

Here butt wipes are ok, you can find them everywhere BUT a few news media went nut with "Alcohol gel hand rub, WILL SAVE YOU FROM CORONA!!!!" and guess what, alcohol gel is now out of stock and some people is stockpiling an insane amount of it....

Guess what else... A thorough soap wash is far more effective against the virus than alcohol rub, my wife is a nurse so I trust her in this matter.

I believe it has been blown way beyond simply out of proportion by the media, and I am going to totally ignore it as much as possible. I may cancel a visit to another state to see relatives next month, in case the government decides to prevent interstate travel and I wind up not being able to get back home. I don't believe Italy is allowing anyone to come in from another country. I even heard they are mobilizing the military to prevent planes and ships from getting too close.

This just reminds me of the old Y2K thing. The media had everyone worked up over computers. Banks were going out loose your money, hospitals would close, satellites would fall from the sky, etc. Nothing happened. The sun came up, birds were singing, and nobody got hit on the head by a satellite. Same with this. They couldn't stop Trump with made up crimes so they are trying a pandemic. This won't work either. When people are cooped up for 2 weeks for NOTHING, they will come out mad at the media. They will start spending. The economy will roar back to life like never seen before.

Y2K was epic, i still remember buying software and they will put a big label with "COMPATIBLE WITH YEAR 2000" or "Y2K COMPLIANT!!"

there are more ratings (and thus more advertising $$$) getting people worked up than there is being truthful and calming them....

Yeah. Eyes flowing and was sneezing my brains out Saturday. My wife counted fifty in a row. My sinuses were pretty clear after that. Snowed later in the day and cleared up. Yesterday, nothing. Today, a few sneezes and eyes swimming again. Just like every spring for the last sixty years.
