Media creating ‘a panic that is far worse’ than coronavirus outbreak

That is exactly right.
+++++
I agree that the media is trying to create a panic. And yes, the reason is certainly Orange Man Bad.

But comparing the panic to the outbreak is just nutty. How many people will be saved if we end the panic today? How many will the virus kill today.

Apples and Oranges and therefore meaningless. Plus the only place I see panic is on the internet. It certainly hasn’t come to my neighborhood yet.

It certainly hasn’t come to my neighborhood yet.

I have credible reports from someone I know and trust of a brawl breaking out over a limited amount of hand sanitizer on the shelf at Walmart.
