Fear mongers. I get tired of hearing people accuse the media of mongering fear. Wait, let me check the latest novel coronavirus figures. At 6:30 this morning, the number of people in the U.S. who have tested positive to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was 4,661. Right now, 3:30 p.m., that number is now 5,853. So, it’s grown approximately 25 percent in only nine hours. The number of worldwide deaths seven hours ago was 7,166. Right now, that number is 7,869. Approximately a 10-percent growth rate.
