Nations are closing borders, stocks are plummeting and a New York Times headline reads: “The Coronavirus Has Put the World’s Economy in Survival Mode.” Both political parties have realized the crisis could severely impact the November elections — House, Senate, presidency. And sacré bleu, they’ve even shuttered the Louvre!
Some of these reactions are understandable, much of it pure hysteria. Meanwhile, the spread of the virus continues to slow.
More than 18,000 Americans have died from this season’s generic flu so far, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Not to worry. The media and democrats will find something else to hype about.

I very strongly believe in looking at the bright side but with equal strength, believe one should stick to what they know.

I don't know if he is right about the timeframe but if we all just take sensible precautions and those who are most vulnerable follow the CDC suggestions and guidelines, this too shall pass.
Like so many things, it's not the event itself that is the main danger, it's the panicked, stampeding crowd you have to be wary of and the media are whipping them into a frenzy.

Fumento is a reliable health and science writer. He's the guy who wrote "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS," back in 1993.

Everyone is worried about another Spanish Flu (like 1918) but so much has changed since then, reporting, nutrition, medicine, and the fact that so many of us have so little contact with our fellow beings. We shop on line. We work from home. We certainly don't go to crowded movie theaters more than weekly for entertainment. We have smaller families and fewer family gatherings. Look at H1N1, which was badly handled by the Obama administration. Obama waited 6 months, and 1000 deaths, before doing something. We lost 12,000 people to Swine Flu. It will be a small fraction of that this time.

Lots of good information.
This is being hyped by liberals and when it has receded in a couple months with none of their dire predictions coming true, they are going to look stupid again and people are going to be ticked off over their soft terrorism.

The reporting of coronavirus has just as much to do with politics as it does with the virus itself. The scare tactics by the radical lefty loving media will continue as long as they think it might hurt Trump.

Welp. If corona fades, there's always the flu or, heck, the common cold to hype up.

This hysteria is brought to you by a number of special interests: Big Pharma, Big Medical, Public Health Authorities, UN World Health Organization, the worldwide media, and political hacks who did it before with Hurricane Katrina...waiting for the cannibals in quarantine stories to begin.

Am not a medical doctor and don't know what to believe. But I don't need any more health problems. Predict that after reading this there will be a spike in people heading for the Philippines. The main reason to wear a mask is so that if you touch your face you won't make contact with skin. I've try stopping but it's a reflex action. Stay safe.

One health official said that more people would get sick from E Coli than from the virus. Many more will get the Flu. No illness is fun, or to be taken lightly, but the panic being hyped by the media isn't helpful.

Msm, since you are so good at reporting fake news, make something up and then tell us the coronavirus crisis is starting to ease and will be gone by this spring. Then on the remote chance your fake news becomes true news, we are good. All fixed.

Well i just got the news this morning that the PNB Paribas tennis tournament in Indian Wells CA has been cancelled due to CV fears. Will the hysteria and anxiety ever be cancelled? How long will this insanity continue? The economic impact of this cancellation is in the millions of dollars to the local communities. I have tickets for the event and was looking forward to going, now I’m not. Next month is Coachella Fest. Will it be cancelled too? Let’s just cancel common sense and reality.

This is a variety of the flu, NOT bubonic plague. The MSM loves this, so do dems, the swamp, the deep state and the globalists.Even some on Fox have joined in.They will hype this to dump on Trump.They will do anything that they feel can thwart his re-election. They don't care what their very bad reprehensible behavior does to the economy. It's all about their retention of power and the money they derive from it.

What will happen to the billions the House and Senate added onto the bill the President just signed? Why was it allowed to be passed, and why do we continue to send ours money overseas? It’s been proven the bureaucrats skim it.

Makes sense. Warmer weather is usually the cure for viruses. Look for a return to common sense on Wall Street as well. Stocks are so low, now is the time to start buying, or at least start doing research before buying.

There is a hoped for contagion that the Dems, media, Soros, China, Russia, Never Trumpers are praying for and that is the contagion of Recession. With every cancelled event, cancelled flight, cancelled restaurant reservation, more panic, no toilet paper, the Recession will be ramped up. And by this summer it will be Trump's failing economy. But, what none of these people understand is that if ever it was important to have a business man and a business saavy administration this is the time. These boys, I am will work their business magic and somehow once again, Trump will stave off a recession and the continued onslaught of the entire world that is against him. MAGA - KAG

No problem. This will all go away from the media as soon as we elect a democratic president. Remember homelessness was such a worry when George HW Bush was president. As soon as Bill Clinton was elected it was no longer headline new.
