Yeah, if our future masters-to-be will allow such a thing to be published.
The media is spreading fear

Watching the media saying the elephant has no authority to "open the country" is rich considering they were critical of not acting soon enough.
Can't make this up.

So, divide America based on population within a lines drawn by man on a map that the virus cannot see and that people in the smaller towns will ignore. Alrighty then.

It's all about perceived risk. It seems that you (and maybe your sister) live in the boonies with little interaction with the rest of your state, the rest of the country and nowhere near an international airport.
Here we have one of the busiest international airports in the country, are a huge tourist destination for folk all over the world and have two of the West's major road arteries passing bang through the middle of the city, I-15 and US-95.
If this doesn't scream "one size doesn't fit all", what does?

No surprises there - the BBC, often known here as the "Biased Broadcasting Corporation". Their coverage of the whole 3 years to Brexit thing was a tour-de-force of agenda-driven disaster predictions, but if you really want to hear how we're all going to die courtesy of Covid-19. try Sky News...
Zombie plague, anyone?

The best path for the media, print and
electronic, is to not question nor analyze
anything the federal administration says
each day.
The media should print and air only the
exact words of the federal administration
and stop seeking non-administration
points of view.
This should be the journalistic policies even
beyond the current main issue of Covid 19.

Sir...The Pathogen will find Hosts whether you stay 6 feet apart and wash your hands...its a virulent Influenza and will be around for some time. Using your Logic we Lock down the nation for 2 years?..Please you must be joking. Look People will die from this Period, As Clinical evidence has shown the older Folks with Co- morbidity are at risk. 6 feet and washing help but it wont stop or cure this. Remember 80k people die from the flu yearly, and over 1Million die from preventable cardiac issues. NOW.... Lets all sit at home following Big Gov's commands and get our Gov Cheese ...wheres my shrink wrap so i can wrap myself like a Mummy.

What is the population of her county? Is there one horse and a stop light?
Florida has 21,000+ cases and 500 known deaths.
I can list several Counties that have 1 or 2 cases or less than 5
Information from one county means nothing.
But this thread has gone down the drain.

new data intercepted by the United States reveals that 21 million people died in China from December 2019 to March 2020, US intelligence officials conclude in a classified report for the Trump administration.
The Intelligence report stated that at least 20.9 million of the deaths were linked to coronavirus.
According to the US, the intercepted data that shows that China underreported its coronavirus infections and deaths was validated for a second time when it tallied with a data released by Beijing authorities. Beijing announced on March 19 that over 21 million cell phone accounts in China were canceled in the past three months while 840,000 landlines were closed.
China had reported little over 81,000 infections with 3,300 deaths.
An earlier intelligence report released by the US that China hid scale of the outbreak was quickly rejected by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. Hua said the country had been "open and transparent" about the extent of the outbreak before accusing Washington of trying to "shift the blame."
But US officials say the report has been authenticated and has been confirmed that the closing of the phones numbers were as result of deaths caused by coronavirus. "Cell phones are an indispensable part of life in China and its only closed when the user is dead", the report said.
"The digitization level is very high in China. People can't survive without a cell phone," Tang Jingyuan, a U.S.-based China Affairs commentator told The Epoch Times on March 21. "Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping… no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cell phones."
"The Chinese regime requires all Chinese use their cell phones to generate a health code. Only with a green health code are Chinese allowed to move in China now," Tang said. "It's impossible for a person to cancel his cell phone."
China introduced mandatory facial scans on Dec. 1, 2019 to confirm the identity of the person who registered the phone. As early as Sept. 1, 2010, China required all cell phone users to register the phone with their real identification (ID), by which the state can control people's speech via its large-scale monitoring system.
Furthermore, Chinese people have to bundle their bank accounts and social security account with their cell phone because all these service's Apps can detect the phone's SIM card and then check with the state's database to make sure the number belongs to the person.
Beijing first launched cell phone-based health codes on March 10. All people in China have to install a cell phone app and register their personal health information. Then the app can generate a QR code, which is possible in three colors, to classify people's health level. Red means the person has an infectious disease. Yellow means the person might have an infectious disease. Green means the person doesn't have an infectious disease.
21 Million Cell Phone Accounts Closed
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced the quantities of phone users in each province in February on March 19. Compared with the previous announcement, which was released on Dec. 18, 2019 for the data in November 2019, both cell phone users and landline users dropped dramatically. In the same period the year before, the number of accounts increased.
The number of cell phone users decreased from 1.600957 billion to 1.579927 billion, which is 21.03 million less. Landline users dropped from 190.83 million to 189.99 million, which is 0.84 million less.
In February 2019, the number increased. According to MIIT's announcements on March 26, 2019 and Dec. 20, 2018, the cell phone users increased in February 2019 from 1.5591 billion to 1.5835 billion, which is 24.37 million more. The landline users raised from 183.477 million to 190.118 million, which is 6.641 million more.
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics, the country's population at the end of 2019 was 4.67 million larger than 2018, and reached 1.40005 billion.
The 2020 decrease in landline users may be due to the nationwide quarantine in February, during which small businesses were shut down. But the decrease in cell phone users can't be explained in this way.
According to the operation data of all three Chinese cell phone carriers, cell phone accounts increased in December 2019, but dropped steeply in 2020.
China Mobile is the largest carrier, and holds about 60 percent of the Chinese cell phone market. It reported that it lost 7.254 million cell phone accounts in February, and 0.862 million in January. But in Dec. 2019, it gained 3.732 million more users.

Nice work leaving out the source. Onion? Politico? CNN? Disney Weekly?
Agreed. I read that exact same article 2-3 weeks ago. I can't remember where it was published, but it was some obscure source.
If it could be verified you KNOW it would be front page news in every media outlet in the country.
I'm not seeing that so far - are you?
Here's what I am seeing from a well known source (not necessarily trusted, but at least well known). They quote an estimate of 3 million infected and 136,000 dead.

At it's core is a nugget of truth, but it is being presented in the scariest and most sensational way it possibly can be.

Media rounds up.....to the nearest hundred thousand ???
Today's media reminds me of the insane media mogul in the Bond film, "Tomorrow Never Dies", where lacking any sensational news story he would just create his own disaster and have the scoop on it.
