Dr. Drew says coronavirus panic is 'destroying' businesses — and he wants the media to be held accountable

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."

Perhaps: Buy 20 restaurant meals in the next two months and get the two cheapest free.

Book three round trips with us before July and get the cheapest free.

College students: Take a love cruise with us.

When the going gets tough the tough get going.

Ordinary people under age 50 can laugh off the virus - help them.

False reporting?

How about completely shutting down everything?

My gov has upended us not only by cancelling all compulsory schooling, but the domino effects wherein my college now wants to shut down, husband’s plant to shut down, and then I need to reschedule all these medical (NON-corona!) procedures and visits I carefully work out to avoid work disruption, to no avail. And now our college is talking about only “remote” on-line classes/tutoring (that’s me) the rest of the semester?!?!

Never mind when stores will decide - or be forced - to shut down!

All for something that really likely isn’t much more dangerous than the average virus. IOW, bad ROI.

Even doctors I’ve seen this week and a nurse friend are not real impressed with the impact of the virus ITSELF (no, not talking about the panic).

I almost went postal in Walmart last night. We’re going camping this weekend so I was buying last minute supplies...like water and TP. I have some already because I’m a prepper by nature, so I rarely run out of anything. But last night I felt like I was living in Venezuela when I looked at the shelves. How long do they think we’ll continue to live like this? We’re in America, FFS! I blame the media mainly, but the politicians are also responsible for the hysteria.

Frustrating, isn’t it?

Is this what we can expect now with every new strain of virus?

Not me. I mean I won’t run out that soon, but I think I will last until the hysteria subsides, or the idiots run out of money to panic buy even more. 8>)

My wife made a run yesterday at HEB and everything went smoothly. She even got a 12-pack of toilet paper. I guess she got in before the panic. A friend of ours was there today and said it is totally mobbed. It's a lot like what happens here in the Houston area when a hurricane is imminent. Of course those panic buys are due to the notion that all the power will be knocked out and stores will be empty. This one seems to be mass hysteria.

I have to go to a Kroger tomorrow to pick up a prescription. I'll probably confine my visit to the pharmacy area alone.

This has been ridiculous in my lifetime I have NEVER seen this panic the media has managed to shut the entire economy of this country down and they are absolutely gleeful!! This has been a disgrace I really feel for people with small businesses that are desperately trying to make it month to month!!! The media HATES Trump more than the give a shit about the livelihood of ALL Americans, I wish the most horrible of consequences upon the media don’t know yet what that could be but it can’t be horrible enough for me!!! I truly HATE these bastards!!! Ebola NO panic, H1N1 NO panic, Hong Kong Flu NO panic, YET a simple flu LIKE virus that is ONLY affecting elderly with underlying conditions the ENTIRE economy of the country is SHUT DOWN!! OMG I can’t tell you how disgusting this is!!!

The media content is run by Ben Rhodes, John Brennan, James Clapper, Valerie Jarrett, and an entire cabal of former government elitists along with their spouses and spawn.

"Echo chamber journalism " It's their description of their work and deeds.

Can she order online and pick it up or have it delivered?

My daughter visited me in Jan with her 2 kids and had groceries delivered a lot (she buys a lot of stuff) it was really convenient for her.
