What happened to all the mass shootings all over the news? Then all of the police brutality videos?
The media shows you what they want you to see. This is literally the biggest overreaction the country has ever performed. They literally shut down every sport in America. That’s the first time ever that no sports will be played for at least a month.
I think Tide and Seek is on to something here. How much has past breathless reporting of coming apacolypse (Swine flu, avian flu, Hurricane xxx, global warming/cooling/climate change) affected the willingness of people today to take things like this seriously?
If this thing largely falls apart, the media, etc., won't be able to ever convince Americans again of an existential weather or health threat. This is the media's and the WHO's weapons of mass destruction claim. They'd better not be wrong.

The whole point is to get thru this with minimal death. To do that, there has to be a countrywide pause in activities to make sure the hospitals don't get overloaded and have to prioritize who dies and who doesn't (deaths meaning the most vulnerable).
This is NOT an overreaction. This is how this should be going, and I'm glad the administration finally realized this. I applaud Trump and Pence for how they've handled this as of late. Some could argue it took too long but decisions are made based on current data.
