I think they should have set themselves on fire, and then reported on that....I'd watch that.
What am I missing about this???

Up. Identified. Lase. Fire. On the way.
DJIA closed today above 26,700. Gained 1/3 of the coronavirus (?) losses back. Let's see if we can get back at least an additional third (at minimum) over the upcoming days.
BTW, the gains today in several indices were of historic proportions. Just hope it isn't a "dead cat bounce" of sorts....

I say no.... It is definitely newsworthy. Ebola was less of a plague than this, as was SARS and Zika - but they were newsworthy too. I, personally, never suggested that this get swept under the rug or ignored.
But like everything else, the media failed in their objectivity in favor of promoting sensationalist melodramatic horseshit.
I wish there was at least 1 news outlet - just 1 - where it was a person sitting at a desk reading facts in a pleasing voice with a pleasing accent with zero inflection. There are no flashy graphics. There are no sub-bass sound-effects. The news studio is tan or brown or olive-drab... and at the first editorial or emotional comment, that reporter is dragged out by their hair (assuming they have hair - by the collar if bald) beaten mercilessly, and replaced with a similar sounding, identically dressed person - who should now know better, after having seen their predecessor punished.

They are now reconsidering based on the fact that actual count of who is infected is way off.
Oh, my. Yeah, that could cause a few of them to be alarmed!

Well I read that in Washington State they quarantined 25 Firefighters for having contact with an affected patient.
Now I see this as something that is going a bit too far.
If they start quarantining 25 Ambuilance personnel and Firefighters who came into contact with one infected person and the flu spreads it isn't going to be too long before they run out of first responders.

The actual count of who is infected with the Flu is ALWAYS off. Do you seek medical attention every time you are sick, or do you buy some dayquil and go on your way? What about all those days you just had a mildly sore throat and felt mostly better a day or two later and chalked it up to pollen or other allergies? Lot of times those are flu and cold viruses that your body was able to fight effectively because you had already been exposed to something similar. But you didn't report it, and it certainly wasn't tested/officially tracked.
We all get sick much more often than we report to a doctor or are sometimes even aware of. But in the case of sick people in coronavirus hot spots, they are definitely being more vigilant about testing/reporting.

No they aren't. Thus the reason they are saying the count of those infected is way off. No sure why you want to argue the point.
There are not enough test and some are making up new test hoping to find something that works. They are finding the tests that have been performed are not always reliable thus resulting mishandling of patients.
New York is making its own coronavirus test amid US shortage
The first case of an untraceable coronavirus in the US suggests many more people may need to be screened for the infection. But the CDC has only sent states a couple hundred kits a piece.

You are telling me that in places where there are known outbreaks that people are avoiding going to the doctor?
My point was that 9 times out of 10 you and I don't bother to go to the doctor/hospital if we have an illness.
But if there were cases of coronavirus reported in Saint Mary's county, I bet that number would be a little bit higher.
I was merely talking about actually identifying to a health professional that we are sick. Not taking an honest to god coronavirus(tm) test.
I dont know why you are arguing the point...
