Man, things are complicated. Our POTUS Trump is taking this seriously (doesnt have a choice) and it is IMO, but its also way way over exaggerated by all media. People are dying,but they also die from many other disease and illnesses much worse than this, much more than this. Its hard what to really think anymore to me

Seems to me like it's about a 6/10. POTUS is selling it as a 4/10 to try and keep people calm but responsible, while MSM and Authoritarian GOP are treating it as a 9/10 and DNC are actively trying to make it so.

In a 9/10, we wouldn't be talking about the media because it either wouldn't be there or it would be like emergency transmissions.

I said that it was a 6/10, with the media trying to ACT like it was a 9/10... Rather unconvincingly, I should have added. They play it up like a scary apocalypse flu that will kill millions, but even the most "DOOOOOM!" projections are a couple hundred thousand.
