Nothing further than the truth... Let’s go for the ratings since it’s the only semi fake news they seem to have.
We have influenza viruses floating around as we speak that are more deadly and not a word about them. There was no reason for shutting down the world for this particular situation. If they shut businesses down for this what about the next flu virus???
I busted my *** to save up and retire now I lost over 150k from my 401k. It will come back but hopefully in time for me.
I’m 71 years old and like everyone else don’t want to get sick and die, I have a lot of racing I want to do yet....

If you really been listening to real media you would have heard that there is no vaccine developed. What may be developed will take a year to make it publicly available. If our public health workers are impacted by the virus there will be fewer healthcare people to help the mounting sick.

A smart leader would not have terminated the very agency that handles Pandemics. Or ignore the facts coming from other counties that were warning us about the impending danger. There are several other agencies that have responsibility to support crisis like this are not getting any direction or orders to proceed.

So instead of giving direction...corporations are going to get a bailout of our Socialist money because they were too cheap to invest in their own companies.

Now instead of talking about a recession there is a real possibility of a depression. Already there are companies preparing to declare bankruptcy. Massive layoff that will make the near Bush depression look mild.

Too bad if the media is inconveniencing your life to save others.
