What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed and people's lives are being upended. Not by the virus, but by the panic," he continued.

"The panic must stop, and the press, they really, somehow, need to be held accountable, because they are hurting people."

Bold part by me. I'm sure others are thinking the same way.
Concern yes, but the over-the-top fearmongering and outright false reporting is causing harm.

On the plus side, toilet paper and disinfectant companies are enjoying a spike in profits.

That's the idea.

The MSM-Democrats think they've found a way to wipe out the economy in an election year.

They are doing it SOLELY to harm Trump because nothing is more important than the Democraps blood thirst for power, to hell with the people, and already they are claiming victory....

Yes, real tangible economic harm is going to come to a lot of people that will soon be out of work. I just hope that some remember how the media fueled it and take some appropriate action to make sure there are repercussions on members of the media.

The stress and anxiety that the media is causing, especially in those 65+, are doing no good at all. The politicians are just as bad with all their fear mongering and/or “doing something” decisions.

To be followed by a steep drop off as consumers are well supplied for several years.

National emergency declaration is going to moot these claims.

That is exactly exactly exactly what is going on. People need to take a good hard look at the depths that this party from hell will go in their blood thirst quest for power. They do not give one rats ass about the people, at all at all. This is a party made up of criminals and traitor who ONLY care about what they can do for themselves, they never do any good for the country, ever. It’s all about lining their pockets and F William Barr for doing absolutely nothing about it. Anyone even remotely connected to Trump goes to jail for merely sneezing the wrong way, meanwhile we got a whole bunch of people who tried to steal the 2016 election still waltzing around free as birds.

Yessiree! I have a cold and I just returned from two different grocery stores in my little town......the second one had a FEW boxes of tissues, but the first one was cleaned out.

Too many in this country are waaaaaay to easy to manipulate!

Catch mom some slack :)

She’s probably afraid. I would be if I was older too.

But she and my mom will be fine.

As for food, the “pandemic” would have to last 18 months for me to get back to fighting weight :)

And to think the grocery market I frequent had so much toilet paper just a week ago some of the packages were gathering dust on the shelves!
