The crisis is not that there's a bad cold going around. What makes this global 'emergency' different than past events is that now we have 'social media' and this one has gone....well....'viral'. The real hardship is not the disease itself, which seems like it's no worse than the other corona viruses that go round and round every year and are called 'colds', the calamity is the pandemic of panic that is going to cause shortages and mass hysteria.
That's exactly what Trump said in his speech Wednesday! Doesn't want a panick, no need, it's like any other flu that they are dealing with. Fear sells..the media wants to put panick on people, which is wrong.
