@team4travis Hello Allison,
Your response was beautiful! Well-thought-out. When you said, "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 could not agree more. I do hesitate to support your statement that, "When watching some news sources, their reporting style seems intended to whip up panic or sensationalize the political side of the virus" and cannot agree with you there. The news sources are just reporting the truth.
I reminded of the movie/play The Music Man where the actor sings the song, "We Have Trouble, Right Here in Virginia City," From my vantage point our trouble is not with the news media, but with leaders who want to muzzle science/medical opinion. The news sources are just reporting what is happening. It takes great courage to go up against the powers that be.
Thanks again for posting, you offer a very thoughtful opinion and it helps me to clarify my thinking.

@hopeful33250. I agree, politics have no place in this. I watched a very emotional press conference by the governor of Dekota, not sure if it's N. Or S. Dekota, he said just because we wear face masks, it dies not mean we are with one political party or other... Unless we all believe we are in it together, it would be a long journey to recovery. Remember, United we stand, divided, we fall.
