Wow, you just jumped from an unexplained drop of ER vists straight to blaming the media for scaring people.

More than 70k have died in the US so far - are we also going to blame the media for not scaring people early enough, or is that too inconvenient?

People are failing to seek treatment for the acute life-threatening emergencies they are almost certainly still having. It’s good that they’ve been convinced of the seriousness of COVID-19, but not that they view the threat of potential infection in the hospital as more serious than an actually-occurring heart attack or stroke.
