> I have to disagree, or maybe we have a different idea of what is mainstream. The New York Times front page was making a big stink about the coronavirus in Wuhan as early as mid-January. By mid-February they were already quoting experts in European countries telling people to be prepared for a pandemic. Fair, maybe it's the fact that the media is constantly catastrophizing everything that I didn't pay attention to coverage like that. I did start paying attention as soon as I started hearing the warning bells from a bunch of experts in mid February. Thanks for the recommendation of The Economist. I wish they had a monthly option, looks like they only do weekly? I've had so much trouble finding a good news source or magazine that has a monthly edition / subscription. Guess there's not much money in that.
