The point was to offer a plausible explanation for why the media reaction to COVID-19 has been much different than the swine flu. Politics aside, this should be quite obvious to any objective observer.

Because Swine flu had an overall death rate of approximately .2% and Covid 19 has a death rate of approximately 2%?

Except the South Koreans are saying they have checked a lot more people and they said that .6% of the people who have had it have died. There are people who have it and recovered and they aren't being counted. We know all the people who died form it, but we don't really know all the people that got it and nothing happened to them or they just thought it was the flu and got better.

Do you think the media is overreacting in all countries across the world, including China, based upon American politics?

Not looking good. Many airlines going bankrupt with this if it drags out longer than 3 months

Kinda like the mortality rate for this this.
Oh my good, it's 2%!
Um.. no it's not. It's 2% of those we know got sick and are listed as such. As O2Pilot already mentioned.. how many have it/had it and it's already run its course.
And lets look at that 2%.
Mostly the elderly and those with immune disorders.
Did you happen to see the report of those who died in WA.
19 died in a nursing home. Somewhere I read the oldest was 90. Some in their 80's and 70's.
19 in a single nursing home is horrific and needs to be investigated as to why the F that happened.
But it goes to show how the numbers are skewed to promote fear.
How about we state this number-
98% survival rate!
You SPECIFICALLY wrote "many airlines going bankrupt".
Give us a few name. Tell us who you think will go bankrupt.
Just like the CV19 and those dying.. if an airline "goes bankrupt" over this, it's because they were unhealthy to begin with. If that does happen to a few smaller BS carriers, it's probably what the owners/management wanted cause it gives them an out. Sucks for the employees but at the end of the day, it is life.
At some point, just like post 9/11, things reset and go back to a 'new' norm.
Enjoy Life!
