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.

Dr. Drew says coronavirus panic is 'destroying' businesses

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....

The Trump Presidency Is Over

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.

National emergency declaration is going to moot these claims.

Reaction to this is way over the top, and yes, it's media driven. Most of the media see it as a way to rid the country of Donald Trump and acting accordingly.

Personally I am angry, very angry, and utterly disgusted.

In addition to harming Trump the MSM loves the power and control they hold over the American people. They control and manipulate the message, and they have to love seeing the sheer panic they’ve created around the country.

“Hold accountable” is the most meaningless phrase in the English language.

i was just in a local supermarket in Shop Rite....its in Bedford, NY, a very liberal town...the anger towards the media was palpable from the people waiting on line- and the lines stretch back and back and back...when i said, “its the media that should be cancelled” the vast majority nodded their heads in agreement...even the store manager called BS on the media hysteria and says this is purposely being done to harm President Trump...

The “Press” is literally hollering FIRE in a crowded theater. They must be held accountable.

He's right. The media and Democrats should be held accountable.

The hysteria that corona is going to kill half a million Americans is total lunacy.

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).
