By reporting on the CV-19 crisis and how people are dealing and showing a picture from Hurricane Harvey as current grocery shopping conditions, by innuendo, they are claiming it is footage of C-19.
I have been to the grocery stores since the beginning, and while I am not actually going in, my son goes in. There are not lines anywhere. There is low inventory, but no lines.
Panicky people will see “lines” at their grocery store, panic, and rush the stores.
“by innuendo, they are claiming it is footage of C-19”
Nonsense. They made no such claim, by innuendo or otherwise. The use of stock footage on television news is ubiquitous and if your argument held any water, you should have been upset about this kind of thing long, long before the Covid-19 outbreak.
