America Needs To Stop Reacting To Coronavirus Like Hysterics

America Needs To Stop Reacting To Coronavirus Like Hysterics:

• Americans are learning how to cope with the virus in a common-sense way. That doesn't mean being reckless, but neither does it mean cowering inside every day of every week and every month unless a vaccine shows up.

"Harvard University recently announced that it will ban students from in-person classes for the entirety of the next academic year. 
The decision, not based on science, is typical of the decisions made by many elites in response to the novel coronavirus sweeping the globe.

Global pandemics aren’t new, but the way many Americans are responding to this one is. 

...America is in an epic battle with the Wuhan coronavirus. 
It’s not fun. 
It’s been messing with us. 
It behaves oddly. 
But Americans should want America to win. 
Instead, it seems like a lot of our media and other institutions are rooting for the virus and have an attitude suggesting the virus has us dead to rights. 

One of the ways the media root for the virus is by hyping it like they hype local sports teams. 
It’s not that it’s not a horrifically deadly and contagious virus — it is. 
But the media routinely amplify its actual risk by many multiples.

...We need a steely resolve, not simpering fear. 
Nothing is going to stop us. 
Not polio, not Nazis, not gravity! 
Nothing. 
We’re America. 
We can do this."
