The media has successfully scared the crap out of many ...


to the point that even when businesses can open up, many will not take advantage. Take the movie theatre discussion from yesterday as an example. Yes this is a dangerous virus for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems but this is NOTHING like the Spanish Flu or the Plague and is essentially a non-issue for younger, healthy people. Politicians have certainly played a role - this is an election year after all, but I put most of the blame on the media that have done nothing but fan the flames of division and fear. JMHO of course.
