Because that is what it is. Part of the reason I was "freaking out" as you put it was not because I thought my kid was going to die but the crap my family might be getting ready to have to go through because in large part but not solely from the media generated panic.
The media loves tragedy, scandal and war. We all know this. They thrive on it. From Chris Cuomo faking his "isolation" in his basement to over the top headlines that use words such as "apocalypse" in an article that is supposed to be good news.
Why would anyone ever think Covid-19 is any different?

I agree with you in regards to the media, we know they have an agenda.
Pete I like you but I think you down play it sometimes and I think if you ask most people here they would agree.
I don't get that because you work in a hospital and you see it everyday what these courageous doctors and nurses are doing. And when there is a rise in cases in KC they are going to your hospital and my daughters further exposing more people, endangering more lives. These aren't just numbers they are real people scared, just like you were and I am.
I just wish people would think about that more.
