The media didn’t gin up the fear and panic as much as now. That’s not to say that this shouldn’t be taken seriously. As I’ve mentioned on other threads, the Wuhan virus is deadly serious for approximately 4% of those who contract. There’s an added level of anxiety since we have no vaccine, but the fact still remains that approximately 96% of cases are classified as “mild”, and 98% of cases recover.
I look very skeptically at conspiracy theories, but I can’t help but think that there is a lot we aren’t being told and that sinister political posturing games are being played by everyone involved.
