Awww, so they weren't allowed to put out more panic porn. Boo. Hoo.

The media could report the >99% survival rate but instead they pound on cases, deaths, and individual stories. Had the media had access to hospitals they would have driven the public into a frenzy with their reporting. Do you think papers would post rational stories or would they play it up as much as possible for eyeballs and money? What have they done in the past? Have they done since day one?

I don't trust the government but they did the right thing here. The media would have done nothing but create hysteria in order to get more eyeballs and revenue.

PS: Change it from Covid to cancer. Would you want yourself or a loved on to be the object of some reporter's story>
