Celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky said the “media should be ashamed of themselves” for creating “panic” around the coronavirus outbreak.
Pinsky said journalists created “a panic that is far worse than the viral outbreak” during his interview on the Washington Examiner’s podcast Examining Politics, which was hosted by Larry O’Connor.
“I don’t claim to know what’s motivating the media, but my God, their reporting is absolutely reprehensible,” Pinsky said.
The celebrity doctor urged people to listen and heed Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on ways to prevent the spread of the virus.
“Do what he tells you and go about your business. That’s the story. Do not be alarmed by the word ‘pandemic,'” he said.
It is reprehensible and TDS is the motivation.
This is insanity and just plain meanness.
The dims and their media are willing to stampede the American public and wipe out their wealth/savings all in order to win an election.
They (dims and media) are loyal to the party only and have no concern with the after effects of their actions.
It is reprehensible and TDS is the motivation.
Exactly. Now we’re closing Universities full of healthy young people? Have Chicom students been spreading the Wu Flu?
Yes, the swine flu was a “nothingburger” compared to the CoronaVirus hype.
Here’s some info for your sister from today’s White House briefing that I post in a few minutes:
“Finally, we got new reports out of China, who had nine pregnant women during an acute COVID infection and all nine were infected. Both — and they delivered while they were infected and all nine babies were healthy and the mothers were healthy. So we continue to look for data like that to be reassuring to the American public. At the same time, ensuring that every single person is participating in this response to this virus and taking those precautions that we should be taking every day.”
bottom line he said just use common sense and take proper precautions as you would with any flu. He also stated that the people that are getting the worse outlook are the elderly and those compromised because they don't take proper care of their diabetes, blood pressure and lung issues.
Can’t believe how passive our populace is, and so easily manipulated into a state of frozen fear by the media. This site is actually one of the worst.

Of all the websites I go to, Free Republic is by far the most panicked.
The Fox Business website is a close second.
I feel sorry for people who don't listen to the news or pay much attention, they are unnecessarily risking their lives by living normally.
“He also stated that the people that are getting the worse outlook are the elderly...”
Millions of boomers.
Panic away
More people are going to die from heart attacks watching the damn news than this virus..
“The Fox Business website is a close second.”
CNN has almost continuous virus coverage.
Oh please. FReepers are not panicked other than a couple of Soros’ paid trolls. Maybe you’re one of those.
Huh?
Many Freepers here have been panicked as hell.
I could list many of them of the top of my head,
but that’s against the rules.
Sidenote, I was watching Fox and Friends and a couple nurses and an aid saw the conversation about stimulus. They liked the idea of a payroll tax pause til the end of the year. Nothing was said about how it would be paid.
One of the stories I heard was about possible medicine shortages because elements of medications such as blood pressure medication are made in China.
My sister is 4 months pregnant she is on the phone with my mom now CRYING thinking that we are all going to die..seriously this is what the damn media has done and it makes me so angry so damn angry that we are in this situation, so damn angry that the communist media hates this President SO much that they are killing people by spreading FEAR
Old news.
This has been discussed, here, since January.
80% of our Rx meds are MIC, 90% of all antibiotics are MIC.
Those drugs that are not MIC typically require components that are....MIC.
Medical supplies (for basic - major surgery)?? MIC
Heparin... a MUST for heart surgery....MIC...and, on the shortage list.
I know how to do a lot of things. I'm successful, was in the Swimming Pool biz for years..then the HC biz..which I still do PRN..and I have a ranch where I raise cattle..
I don't snivel, and don't whine......
I don't know what kind of men you hang with...
They have no problems doing this to the American public now.
Imagine what they will do when they get in power again?
