I am further worried about blame as to the cause which has not been proven by scientists.

I realize that we the people are at the mercy of the news systems and some of them continue to give opinions in their headlines and continue to spout opinions in their news stories. I would like some real hard facts about who died, why they died, and how many are currently sick and who has recovered. I want the government to listen to the scientists and not make them hush.
You have lost trust in the "past week". I go back to January, when we first saw the "silencing" of witnesses, and now again.

My trust, I think is now forever "broken" and I limit my "news" gathering to some trusted written media only.
