CoronaVirus - am I too cynical? 4 Years, 1 Month ago
|
|
It's 2020 and the media, having run out of Prince Andrew stories and Harry And Meghan stories, has inflated the story of another form of 'flu into a "global killer epidemic". It appears the Corona Virus is nowhere near as lethal as Sars or Mers or Ebola. 'Flu like symptoms; yes it kills a few vulnerable, just like normal 'flu does. Yes; we need to find an antidote vaccine, as we surely will. Yes; China is panicking but that seems very media inspired too.
The epidemic is the 2020 media madness - a version of The Emperor's New Clothes. Gullible punters falling for simplistic stories. 'Twas always so. Hans Christian Andersen knew what he was doing.

Tell that to those infected - said to be in excess of 25,000, and to the almost 600 who have died.
And remember that no cure exists, and that the quarantine period is only halfway through.
No prognosis can yet be made - and to blame the media for a potential pandemic, is irrational.

Vaccine....soon will surely exist for CoronaVirus.
To say Media is NOT responsible for circulation based panic and hysteria seems irrational to me.
The vaccine will probably be invented - but after what degree of spreading, further infections and deaths!
And the media is causing havoc - by making us aware of the facts, disturbing as they are?
In Australia - is the media also making matters worse by giving us the bushfire facts/information?!

Yet the numbers still rise.
636 now dead - with over 31,000 infected.
And no vaccine yet!
Perhaps it's getting near the time, to be alarmist!?

Only 138 more deaths for Coranavirus to equal SARS - in 2003!
This could occur at the weekend - with about 1 in 4/5, of those tested on the Yokohama ship, testing positive.
Maybe the World Health Organisation is lying too...

Do you still actually believe this?
The media have many faults.
But they can't be blamed for viruses or bushfires.
Or for reporting thereon...
