When will the news media
start telling people that most people who test positive for this virus never even get sick, and of the ones who do, most recover fully! All they tell is the negative and that's why we have this mass panic!

My main source of news is the BBC radio services; and that has been telling us that medical fact all along.
Where I think it does fall short though is in quoting just absolute numbers, without giving the proportions and totals too.
(Usually, journalists fail in the opposite way, by quoting % without the qualifying population numbers: a 50% rise is 50% whether from 4 to 6 or 4000 to 6000, with a difference of 1998; and anyway the total population might be >60 million!
