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."

The virus is just gearing up.. There will be many cases that have been incubating for the last 3 or 4 weeks.. The dramatic action being taken now is necessary to keep it from continuing to spike. It will be worth it.

There is false reporting on both sides. How many times have we heard it’s just a cold virus or that it’s a mild flu.

I’ve actually not heard a lot of over the top reporting.

The reporting has helped drive action to take the steps to contain and mitigate the virus, which will help save businesses.

I feel the same way, but it seems that most do not.

Part of it is the age we live in, where people think the government is God and can fix everything..... right now.

We’ll watch this play out. There are consequences to every act. Economic will probably be a big one.

Good point. Or maybe we’ll learn our lesson.

This isn’t the Black Plague. It’s not even Ebola, which was basically guaranteed death.

My son just sent me a pic of the local Sam’s store in Denver.
Bare shelves in the frozen food case.
People going nuts.
‘Rats glassy-eyed at the prospects of the economy crashing.

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

Still can't understand why the run on toilet paper since diarrhea is not a symptom of the China Virus......

One would think that condoms would be the first to sell out since everyone is getting screwed by the MSM..........

Well, Dr. Drew, that's their purpose in this thing since they hope this will bring down Trump. And the accountable part? Won't happen.

‘My Mom tried today to go to Ralphs..TRIED is the key board, no parking available, so she left..so she went to Trader Joes, 200 people AT LEAST in the store, she wore a mask and gloves”

Funny, here in eastern WASHINGTON STATE, things are barely different from normal, maybe fewer people out than normal for a Friday afternoon but then there is a snowstorm coming.

virulent combination of ignorance, emotional instability, demagogy, solipsism and vindictiveness

Obama's been out of office more than three years now, leave the poor guy alone.

The media is the enemy within and they have been doing their best to destroy this country for years, decades.

The destruction and daily attacks will continue until we as a country figure out a quick and LEGAL way to completely destroy them.
