@team4travis- I don't think that anyone is panicking. I think that people are acting fearful, the way as they should be about this virus. Cautiously entering society is the best way. Areas, where there are no restrictions, are seeing an upswing in the number of cases. The media might exaggerate some things but the number of people lost or seriously ill and their mourning families are not some made-up hyped event.

Hello Merry, certainly the number of deaths and the impact on grieving families are very real and very tragic. I do not suggest it is a made-up hyped event. Any loss of life is truly heartbreaking.
When watching some news sources, their reporting style seems intended to whip up panic or sensationalize the political side of the virus. Maybe this is just my oversimplified, idealistic opinion...It should be about mourning the dead, caring for the sick and all who support and care for them, and fighting like crazy to find a resolution to preventing the virus from becoming more devastating than it already is. It should not be a vehicle to divide our country.
I encourage everyone to stay safe, employing equal measures of social distancing, good hygiene, common sense and kindness.
Be well,
Allison

Merry, I think what you just said cannot be stressed enough.
