- infinity0 7y agoThat's why it's important to have positive stories like this one, the media is only focusing on the negative ones even though they only count for < 1% of the real situations.
- obmelvin 7y agoThe death rate is 2-2.5% so how do you suggest that the negative cases are <1%?? At least every death is a 'negative story' and something tells me you don't want ARDS or secondary infection, so that's probably negative too.
- hef19898 7y agoYeah, and a couple of days ago LinkedIn got spammed by "Supply Chains will die" posts. Well, at least my feed. So yeah, a hell of a load of clickbait all over the place. And only minority is trying to calm things down.

- _jack_cox 7y agoFrom this story sounds like a moderate flu. Fever, coughing, body aches, and congestion. It does seem like the media is click-baiting the world for profit.
- dr_dshiv 7y agoYes! Fear media is money. And for people in the public health infrastructure, this is their moment to shine! Who wants to poo poo the situation?
