"National Emergency". This was shortly after some typical misleading statements.

Whatever, the national "State of Emergency" means we don't have to make up school days now, how many weeks the kids are out now.

I'm not that interested in politics but isn't a State of Emergency and National Emergency, more or less the same thing, especially when dealing with something like the coronavirus. Though I do think the mainstream media have over hyped this.

Yes the media have tended to focus on the negatives too much and that probably hasn’t helped people’s worries. I understand this virus is a bit of an unknown, but how many have only had mild cases and recovered?

Still, it’s a serious situation and couldn’t have come at worse time for us

According to the Worldometer in the UK, 798 are infected, 11 dead and 18 have recovered. The also have reported BBC 798 are infected and 11 dead but never say how many have recovered. It's like they want to ramp up the hype. Also the BBC's reporting is very sensationalised. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

Sure, its semantics, but the other misleading statements get into politics, I'm afraid

You’re right on the BBC. It’s no different from how they covered Brexit last year. Just unnecessary overexposure which creates a climate of fear, which is not what people need at this time. And that’s why I’ve given up watching the news at this time. It got to the point where I was spending too much time worrying about it. More balance is needed.

Although I understand this virus is still a bit of an unknown at this time. It’s just a shame for us motorsport fans it had to happen now just as most championships were starting
