It shouldn’t be surprising that the people that complain most vociferously about “The media panic” are selectively hearing only what reinforces their view of the media.

That being said there are a lot of people hand wringing about “we don’t know yet, we don’t know yet” in this very thread. Three weeks into it, and the evidence is almost overwhelming: it is not likely to be nearly as bad.

I followed the original covid news in early January and I fought against the narrative that it was “just the flu”. We would know by now if the news was bad.

That being said, folks should continue to remain vigilant in those areas where spread is prevalent.
