In 3 months from now when everything is mostly back to order and everyone isn't dead people will wonder WTF all the hysteria was about and realise the media was responsible for almost all of it.

The media will blame Trump. The media will always come out smelling like a rose. Amazing how much influence they have and how they control the narrative. When you control the narrative, you control the people. The media will move onto the next scary thing to keep people in fear and distraction.

No they won't. Only we will, because we are aware of the press' shenanigans. The sheep of the country will keep up lapping up the spoilt milk being fed to them and regurgitating it to others as if it is gospel.

You have way too much faith in the NPCs of this country

I just heard a piece on NPR that led with, "if 6 months from now we're asking what was all the fuss and hysteria about because not much really happened, that would be proof that it all worked."

Tautological horse shite...

If this turns out to be a nothing burger I hope the blow back on the media is massive.

If people do that, it'll have been a largely wasted period of economic loss and boredom

People need to come out of this going "hopefully we did overreact, but we'll put things back together, and we need to have better plans and resources in place for this next time."

But did it really hurt them? They recovered from sjw crap. The loss of all the sports will cripple them for awhile though.

You think the Media is going to be held accountable or hold themselves accountable?

CNN is currently calling Trump Racist for stating this started in China...

MSM is calling Trump a racist/xenophobe/Etc. for issuing a travel ban...

Exactly, they will spin it to be a positive. no matter what they will feel validated for pushing fear.

"this blowing over" and success at keeping the thing from getting too widespread might look a good bit alike

This is like saying if a supercell doesn't spawn an F5 the blowback on the meteorologists should be huge.

Unless we find out that someone was hiding data from us, we know what we're dealing with and we know the threat (at least within the bounds of what's available in 3 months). Simple math calculations indicate that - in theory - this presents a major threat to a swath of the public and the HC system.

If this virus burns itself out in the heat, or has some other self-limiting thing - how are we supposed to know that?

Blame is an epidemic in this country on all sides.
