It's not just the press.
Leadership at all levels has been seriously deficient. Look at the CDC guidance documents.
They are preparing for an event with low frequency and high lethality, when what they are dealing with (by all the evidence in hand) is a high frequency/low lethality event.
Their guidance for caring for a person at home with A/California/04/20009 is to give them their own bedroom with a private bath.
Their guidance for office specimen collection is to use a respirator.
Why do they issue such unrealistic guidance?
Because CYA is the law of the jungle in our world - and no leader can appear, and no government can function properly, when CYA is Job #1.
