The Corona-Crazed Media NOT Entirely Wrong But R They Brunched COVOD-ians?

The media is clearly of a ONE-TRACK-MINDSET...COVID-19 is NOT the end of the world!!!
\WHY does MUCH of US Media relate EVERY STORY NOT a CRASH on highway or CRIME as CORONA-related?

Is there a Media agenda to WRECK THE US ECONOMY by persisting in UNIVERSAL QUARANTINE shutting down BUSINESSES arbitrarily as ESSENTIAL or NON-Essential...

WISE BUSINESS people have already ADAPTED by opening GROCERY STORES, etc. that are deemed ESSENTIAL tho PRICEY in many cases they can sell TOILET PAPER and FOOD and sensitization products to the PANICKED GENERAL POPULATION running about unjobed ,BORED and LOOKING for ESSENTIALS.

There is a universal panic magnified by weeks of Coronovirus this and Coronovirus that, somebody of note happens to comment on CORONOVIRUS and somebody MIGHT be a crisis actor hired and scripted by a media reporter.
A crisis actor - aka actor-patient or actor victim - is a trained and sometimes experienced actor, role player, volunteer, or other person that has been hired to portray a disaster victim during emergency drills to train first responders such as police, firefighters or EMS personnel. Sometimes crisis actors get used by REPORTERS TO STAGE and HYPE UP STORIES. But they are supposed to be utilized to create highly realistic simulations of disasters in order for first responders to practice their skills and help emergency services organizations to prepare and train in realistic scenarios as part of full-scale disaster exercises. Thus the media has revealed the lack of scruples to FAKE the NEWS any which way it can perhaps with a journalistic award in mind or just pure laziness or spite as the "justification" or the enhancement of some POLITICAL AGENDA. One well-known instance involved a Middle Eastern child being PAID by a "newshound' to get the newshound a RUBBER BULLET by attracting live fire from Israelis. The kid could have "collected the souvenir" in his EYE SOCKET and gotten permanently blinded in one eye because a rather callous and thoughtless REPORTER did not consider a rubber bullet "all that dangerous." Kids have done much more risky behaviour than this so it is not the fault of the youth. But the reporter should have been old enough to know better than to perpetrate such a stunt. 

The politically correct name of the coronavirus known variously as Kung Flu, Chinese Flu, and Wunan or Hunan Flu is its officially designated COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO?). But an even more dangerous and deadly virus most people have totally FORGOTTEN is the "regular" flu. Yes, the plain-old-evolved-from-last-year's FLU.

Some of the panic caused by a constant bombardment of coronavirus videos and "news" items is mitigated because handwashing, avoiding close contact with strangers, covering when sneezing or coughing, etc HELPS prevent the spread of colds and all types of flu. This is the GOOD that will come from all this when this "blows over".

Annually, the flu season peaks in December to March or so in the US. Thus far, the CDC has estimated with weekly influenza surveillance data that at least 12,000 people have expired from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may number to 30,000.
The CDC also estimates that up to 31 million Americans have caught the flu this 2019-2020 season, with 210,000 to 370,000 flu sufferers hospitalized because of the virus.

But why do some people die from the flu?
Often the evolved flu has increased its virulence and strengthened itself from the prior year. Some people are especially suseptible because they already had been weakened by a cold, then caught the evolved flu which had overpowered weakened peoples' immunities in its evolution process.

The official toll of the 2019-2020 flu season will not be tallied as completed for months. The season could last until May, and only preliminary estimates AKA "guess-timates" will be published until data is finalized.

Infectious disease expert Dr. Amesh A. Adalja who is senior scholar at the John's Hopkins Center for Health Security in Baltimore stated, “The current flu season has been difficult but it has not reached epidemic threshold in the next couple of weeks, when more data is available, it will become clear just how severe the season was given that we had an initial dominance of influenza B and now dominance of influenza A H1N1.”

Should a second strain dominate the flu season, this can lengthen the season, added Dr. Adalja.

Influenza B Is dominating the 2019-2020 flu season. Here's what folks have a dire need to know.
So how do these numbers compare to flu deaths in previous years? Thus far, it appears as though the 2019-2020 deaths will not rise to the 2017-2018 season, which claimed the lives of 61,000. Nevertheless, it could equal or surpass the 32,000 of the 2018-2019 season.

Thus far - there have been around 4,200 flu-related deaths. Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be chalked up to or blamed on the flu. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year.
The annual death rate depends on the specific strain of the virus that is dominant, how well that year's vaccine is working to protect against that strain, and how many people got vaccinated, states Dr. Adalja. The flu is more difficult to overcome for specific populations, such as infants and young children, the elderly, and people who are immunocompromised from chronic illnesses such as HIV or cancer. Sometimes transplants can cause immunocompromised
vulnerability. In recent weeks, however, the light of truth has been overly aimed at the new coronavirus, which the WHO officially (PC) named COVID-19 on February 11 so not offend the area it originated from or particular race. The concern is justified, as more than 1,000 people in mainland China have died from the virus which is a singnificantly larger number of people than those who died from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic.  As of March 2020, there are at least 13 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the US and by the time this is online, this will include several more.

The fact that only a dozen in a given area are affected doesn’t mean Americans don’t need to worry about the flu. The CDC - in their guide to preventing coronavirus, recommends getting a flu vaccine and taking everyday preventive steps like avoiding close contact with the sickto help stop the spread of germs (such as avoiding close contact with people who are sick, covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, washing one's hands often, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school. This precautions are especially to be done when anyone is ill. It’s also important to take flu antiviral medications if they are prescribed for illness.
The fact that people are more concerned about COVID-19 than the flu virus is no surprise, states Dr. Adalja. “Anytime there is a new emerging infectious disease that is shrouded in mystery with a lot of unknowns, it captivates people in a way that a regular virus that people deal with on a yearly basis won’t,” he adds.
The fact that coronovirus stories have edged out and replaced all the accident, cuttings, shootings, fights, and crimes has served to heighten public concern to borderline hysteria. Some have criticized the media as fear mongerers and panic procurers. The old-time expression "yellow journalism" has come to the forefront in conversation especially in talk radio
