This.
Is.
Infuriating.
We get it, media. You need to make sure Trump’s economy is tanking and people are hurting so Biden doesn’t completely embarrass himself in November but ENOUGH is enough. When elderly people who have no one to care for them are literally afraid to go into a grocery store because you’ve told them THEY’RE GOING TO DIE, you’ve gone too damn far.
Time to get it together and stop with the hysteria and fear-mongering.
I went to the grocery store this afternoon. As I was walking in I heard a woman yell to me from her car. I walked over and found an elderly woman and her husband. She cracked her window open a bit more, and explained to me nearly in tears that they are afraid to go in the store.

In tears.
IN TEARS.
Afraid to get sick as they are in their 80’s and hear that the novel coronavirus is affecting older people disproportionately. And that they don’t have family around to help them out. Through the crack in the window she handed me a $100 bill and a grocery list, and asked if I

Through a crack in the window, she asked for help.
If this story is true, the media should have to answer for terrifying people in this way.
would be willing to buy her groceries.
I bought the groceries and placed them in her trunk, and gave her back the change. She told me she had been sitting in the car for nearly 45 min before I had arrived, waiting to ask the right person for help.— Rebecca Mehra (@rebecca_mehra) March 12, 2020
Imagine sitting in your car knowing you need groceries but being so terrified by what you’re seeing in the news that you just can’t go in.
Did we mention this is infuriating?
I know it’s a time of hysteria and nerves, but offer to help anyone you can. Not everyone has people to turn to.

Just callous and evil.
And all because orange man bad.
Precisely why the media should be ashamed of themselves for intentionally inciting this type of panic.

Ding ding ding.
Everyone needs to check on all our senior citizen neighbors and help out during this time.

That’s because they are victims of the “Sky is falling” crowd! I warned people not to listen to fear mongers bc it creates panic, but I’m just one common sense person attempting to stem the tide of fear producing BS being perpetrated by leftist idiots! We will get thru this!

I would have told her to stop watching CNN and MSNBC! Lol

After getting their groceries yes, this would have been an excellent way to help them as well.
