Would not have necessarily pegged you as a deep state conspiracy nut job but then again I don't hang around in PARF. Does the media overstate and dramatize things, sure. Our local news has dramatic music and we get several epic snow storm is coming reports each winter. They are doing similar intros but toned down a bit for this stuff. Do several of the main outlets like NPR, BBC, NBC/CBS/ABC, etc. make ***** up just to scare people, no, I don't think so. If you go to the entrance of an ER it may be crickets because they aren't letting folks in who normally swarm the place daily for nose bleeds. Hopefully the impact of this will be less than the "worst case" scenario because some states/cities jumped on it early.
Maybe take the tin foil hat off and not get your news from fellow Whackos.
My best friend runs a small residential construction company. One of his guys in his 40's is on a ventilator and near death. I know him and his family well. He's worked on my house several times. He's on day 10 since being admitted and testing positive. He may be one of our deaths over the weekend. The family gets updates every few days as they can't visit.
