Doctor Fact-Checks Media On Coronavirus

The media is doing a poor job informing the public with accurate information on COVID-19. They bring on self-proclaimed experts that make claims that have no ground in science and sometimes are full-on lying. Also, I think they are leaning into the fear angle too hard in order to draw clicks and viewership. I believe they should uphold proper journalistic standards and stick to the facts!

My mother and grandmother would always say: “turn off the television. I'll probably die because of stress watching this news than the virus itself.”

Dr. Mike calling out Gwyneth Paltrow, Nat Geo, TMZ, and several other politicians for their BS is what I live and breathe for...

"The media is doing a poor job informing the public" - yeah, that's true about a lot more things than COVID-19.

Watching this nearly 3 years after the fact was really like going back in time.

This is the calmest anger I’ve ever seen

[sarahsays]

Husband and I were discussing this just yesterday. He was saying he’s not even so nervous about getting sick, what really worries him are supply shortages because of the absolute panic everyone has gotten into.

[darthboi]

Seems like paying attention to the media is becoming the equivalent of googling your symptoms and just getting yourself even more stressed and anxious .

This is what we needed a year ago when this video was posted and it still what we need today. We are letting a bunch of corrupt media outlets and corrupt I don't know who all tell us things to trip us out and scare us. I want to hear a logical truth from a doctor like this man.

You know he ain't messing around when he's got the vein popping out

"It used to mean something to be a journalist." - best quote of the video

[FindingTheo]

"We have this contained! . . . Pretty close to airtight . . . "

Like a fart in the wind.

As my friend said:
"You know when we should panic? When media starts calming us down"



And sheer, blind following media is so damaging. I wanted to buy liquid handsoap. Almost enterie shelfs of products were gone, pharmacy's lack sanitizers. Not to mention food that can be stored for longer periods of time

"why did it take a football manager?"
Because it's his job to cut through the bs and excuses and get the job done, unlike congress and the media.

"I urge the media, please be responsible with your reporting."
Meanwhile CNN and FOX reporting as far off in either direction as possible like its a movie

[TheYellowDart]

Doesn't increased stress and anxiety over time weaken the immune system as well? Seems like creating panic would actually help this disease spread.

[imsoboredhahaha]

Doesn’t being stressed hurt the immune system? Surely the more stressed we are with the media reporting this, the more stressed and depressed we are and the more we are likely to get covid-19

I love how he's saying "if you're not an expert, then stfu" in such a nice an polite way

[florentinenice]

Didn't expect Jürgen Klopp to be in this video 😂😂😂

“we have contained this. won’t say airtight but pretty close to airtight”

my brain after memorizing a whole textbook the night before the exam
