I've never seen the media pump so much fear into people unnecessarily. What some companies do for web hits is disgusting. Even the CBC is doing it and sticking things like this on the front page: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/coronavirus-panic-canada-1.5473606
Like seriously? Trying to scare people into buying food and supplies?
The media is simply reporting the wave of fear that has been born from the spread of this virus, they are not creating it as you seem to suggest. Once again you missed the point.
