The media led to the dumb panic.
Because?
1. They define dumb.
2. Science is NOT their friend.
Why the heck do you think they majored in journalism?
Yep - the Science of Using Fear as a means of controlling a People....they are fine-tuning it.
No. Ignorance of science and rejection of science can result in panic
Basic laziness and refusal to learn are the panic inducers.
lack of science and lack of information and objective knowledge leads to dumb panic
Even when nothing really happens, it’s a huge story — which is why many Americans hate the news media.
**************
The media hypes and sensationalizes EVERYTHING. They exaggerate, dramatize and breathelessly cover each story beyond the saturation point. Whatever it takes to drive ratings.
When there is little news to report they turn the ordinary and mundane into “top of the hour stories”. Every second of air time must be filled with “compelling” stories.
The newscasters all make huge salaries doing this so the con job is working for them.
Science has nothing to do with dumb panic. The question has no meaning.
Dumb panic is an emotional action.
The media feed the public stories at the maximum level possible. When something is repeated 24/7 and is on every media outlet, and is the lead story, the public gets the message that this is very important. There is very little the public can do. It does what it can, and does a lot of dumb things.
Hoarding toilet paper is not panic.
Give it two weeks. Two weeks of not working, of no paycheck, of not going out to eat, of no school, of no child day care, of closed public offices, of the elderly rotting away without any human contact other than their caregivers, and of enforced confinement to home, and there will be emotional reactions to all this $hit. There will be fights over the last can of Lysol. Tempers will flare. But that’s not panic.
Not dumb science as much as dumb, ideologue scientists
The curse of our age is computer modeling. It requires dumb faith in the numbers used to produce the resulting projections, and in our politically polluted age, the numbers cannot be trusted.
However, science prophets confidently tell us what the temperature will be a hundred years from now, based on computer models. Others predict that tens of thousands of people will die of the coronavirus based on their computer models, when common sense tells us this will not happen because too many people are surviving.
So our economy can be destroyed by bogus scientific models, but the originators remain anonymous, ironically supported by billions of dollars of taxpayer funding to scientific agencies.
Maybe near-instantaneous global mis-information leads to panic?
Too late. The media and democrat political twisting of science has created a panic that is far beyond reason.
What the administration is saying about normal precautions, hand washing, avoiding large crowds for the time being is the rightful message. The chicken little stock market turds and the public have taken us to the verge of idiocracy. Orson Wells War of the Worlds broadcast was a fairytale read to kids by comparison.
I’m now spending all my time researching Project 201. Why is Bill Gates so involved? Why was this Project happening just five months before the Coronavirus outbreak? How could this epidemic lead to a One World Order? Please everyone help me put this all together.
Although the media has propensity to stir up stories to boost ratings, the problems with this virus are:
No tests widely available (yet).
Longer incubation period (14 days).
More infectious.
Specific medicine to get rid of it isn’t widely available (yet).
That is why areas without -reported- cases are reacting.
When running around in panic, does proper etiquette call for the arms to be raised or adducted?
