  1. Please practice responsible news reporting and not use the word “fear”. We should be doing our parts to stop the spread of the virus out of social responsibility, not fear. Please do not fuel the fire with the words you use. I am disappointed with your reporting. This comment does not need to be published, it is meant for your improvement.

  2. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I found this in my search for something concerning this.
