My statement here has nothing to do with politics and does not have a party affiliation slant. Ban the news and media for 4 to 8 weeks and this issue will fix it's self. I refuse to listen to main stream media because all outlets IMHO have their agenda and it is not to tell the facts without bias or influence and let us decide our opinions. IMHO their job now is to tell us what and how to think. I have worked in EMS now for 40+ years and we have been bombarded with events over the decade's. Each time we had to prepare mentally and with special equipment because "we" were gonna die. With the Ebola scare we were ready to take on Godzilla. The other evening at work some guys had on the evening news and I was forced to listen to 30 minutes of stupidity, propaganda, fear mongering, and the most sensational end of time horror "movie" I'd seen in some time. Every scene was filled with medical people dressed out like they were spraying insecticide on peaches with a tractor and a fog sprayer, and this is not the case. Very little was mentioned about common sense and safe practices to prevent the transfer of corona. Nothing was shown as far as cases confirmed, cases healed, and death rates for confirmed cases. There was no mention of the ages of the confirmed deaths. Nothing was shown to compare Corona with the Flu of 2019. You could visit 5 nursing homes shaking hands, talking to and interacting with the elderly while carrying the old Flu type A and the effects from this would more disastrous than what Corona has done in your town or mine. IMHO the media outlets are trying to out sensationalize each other at the cost of the American people. This Orson Wells war of the worlds type news broadcasting speaks volumes about the outlets that are keeping us "informed". Just my .02 Don Jackson
