Fear is a tactic used in the US to keep eyes glued to new media. I think that's likely a non-significant part of it. As the saying goes, "Perception is reality" (which is demonstrated in phenomena like the placebo effect, or widespread beliefs in theories like QAnon or RussiaGate) - if so, it shouldn't be terribly surprising that a person who subjects their mind to large quantities of subjective "Coronavirus!!!!!!!" "journalism" would have a genuinely different reaction than that of someone who only exposed their mind to objective statistics.
