Fuck them punks in the fake news media!

They posted some bullshit about the muh coronavirus being ten times more deadly than the flu. So I called them on their bullshit!

 

I sent them this feedback:

 

"This story is irresponsible, and promotes unnecessary fear and panic. The lack of journalistic integrity is staggering, and defies all reason.

This statement: "Symptoms of coronavirus resemble those of the flu, but the virus is believed to be more contagious than the flu and is at least 10 times more deadly."

 

It is a horrendous misrepresentation of the facts.

Firstly, the flu this season is taking the lives of 5% of those to infected. If anyone of your editorial staff was capable of performing a simple math calculation, then it would become quite apparent that the statement above is highly dubious at the very least. To demonstrate the issue, if one was to take 5% and multiply it by 10, the result would be 50%. Clearly half the people infected with Coronavirus have not died, nor is 50% anywhere close to the actual number.

This article represents journalistic malfeasance of the highest order!"
