Media creating 'a panic that is far worse' than coronavirus outbreak

That is exactly right.

The dems and their media puppetmasters are openly colluding with a Chinese virus in an attempt to affect the 2020 election. This will all fail as their other attempts have, when the flu season ends and there is a significant drop in coronavirus cases.

The virus is what it is.

It seems to be a real problem in China.
It seems to be a real problem in Italy.

It’s not a hoax.
It wasn’t invented to “get Trump”.

But the major takeaway is that it ISN’T a problem in the US. Not at all.
But our media is inventing this as the End of the World.
And they ARE doing that to “get Trump”.

. The media have glommed onto this, as a Black swan event which can only hurt Trump. And the media and liberal desire to take down Trump overrides every other consideration..

A lot of the media coverage has been critical of the Trump administration response to the virus issues. They see it as another tool in their toolbox to bash Trump with.

Far be it from me to correct the good doctor, but they aren’t “journalists.”

Won’t say what I’m thinking about this, except when the hype clears, the activities of those who have been engaged in stoking panic in order serve a political purpose should not go unanswered.

Democrats are using this emergency to grab power to control the public.

Events and gatherings are being canceled/prohibited.

Not a lot different from the order to remain indoors after the boston bombing.

“Go to your room! It’s for your own good”

This type of emergency (weather, virus, physical threat) is being called more frequently. “Shelter in place!”

Dr. Drew Pinsky: Media creating 'a panic that is far worse' than coronavirus outbreak

The dems had tried talking us into a recession a while back just to damage President Trump, and now here comes corona and remember that TRAITOR Rahm Emanuel, who said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste...."? Well the dems and their lapdog media are working overtime.

“I don’t claim to know what’s motivating the media, but my God, their reporting is absolutely reprehensible,” Pinsky said.

It is reprehensible and TDS is the motivation.

I just came back from my Pulmonologist and he said that he was not seeing many cases in the ICU and that numbers are skewed because no one gets tested unless they are showing symptoms so the numbers are constantly fluctuating. He said he saw many more patients during the H1N1 breakout.

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.

I was in the hospital this morning for a procedure. I talked to several nurses and the surgeon about the virus. They were unconcerned, but aware. They agreed with my take on the situation, and laughed when I said, "wash your hands and keep your fingers out of your orifices."

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.

It is only a matter of time before your local hospital gets lots of pneumonia patients, mainly 60 plus.

There might be 300,000 infected people at this time in the USA. The vast majority will never get very sick from the coronavirus.

By April the count will probably be over 10 million infected Americans. Maybe 100,000 will be hospitalized.

Most of you are of European extraction. If you are over 60, you might get as sick as an older Italian. Maybe since the US has more children per elderly person, our elderly will get deathly sick at a lower rate.

Hospitals in the US will get overwhelmed. Drugs will have to be used on an experimental basis without full FDA approval to keep people alive.

The necessary legal work should be done by Congress to allow for the experimental use of anti-coronavirus drug candidates.

“I don’t claim to know what’s motivating the media,”

That’s hilarious. Of course he knows. It’s obvious that TDS is much worse than Wuhan virus.

The takeaway from this virus is that if it were as bad as the media is saying, there is NOTHING our government could do about it except hope that it isn’t really all that bad. Any reasonable step to contain it would be shot down by some leftwing federal judge as “racist” or some other nonsense.

We have no response to this sort of threat. Huge swath of the population dies? So what? Import more Mexicans and Indians. Great.
