I wish the media would focus more on the outliers of the doomsday narrative, as well as the long term consequences of the lockdown solutions being pushed.

covid-19 is bad, but seems nowhere near comparable to what much of the developing world faces on a daily basis (4000 kids die a day from malaria?!?)

I have almost exclusively used Wikipedia for keeping track of the outbreak. Media has become really bad at communicating complex issues that are rapidly changing over time especially as different groups are trying to shape messages to the public.

Face masks for the general public being the most obvious example.
