Coronavirus, it's a political mine field, politicians are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I wouldn't like to be a politician.
Who has done more to spread the panic? The governments of the world? I don't think so. The media? Facebook, Instgram, all those other social media outlets? Not really, it's the other media, the newspapers, the TV and radio news programs, thyey have all been scaremongering and as a result, selfish people have stockpiled what they think they are going to need, toilet rolls being the firm favourite when in fact, Coronavirus doesn't give you the shits.
Here in Britain we have a shitty news media, they are all jumping on the bandwagon and serving only to spread fear when in reallity, it is only those with underlying illnesses who are most at risk, for the rest of us, it is purely a case of common sense, personal hygiene being the main factor.
In short, if you get the virus then you will most likely not even know it but if you do have symptoms, so long as you don't have an underlying illness, you will most likely survive and for those of you with underlying illnesses, please, please, please take extra care.
Why don't you ask the people in China,Italy,Iran if they think the media is the problem ?
I am merely commenting on Britain where I live, the media are total arseholes, they like to play on people's fears.
