During a Pandemic it is essential that the Media gives us real and accurate information.

It’s completely irresponsible for @CBSNews to use footage from an Italian Hospital when talking about the outbreak in New York City.

This is unacceptable.
While this might seem minor, it matters.

Italy’s Coronavirus outbreak is among the most severe in the world and their hospitals have been over capacity for weeks.

That same situation isn’t reflected in New York and while it could get to that point, it’s still not honest.
This can incite unnecessary fear, and people are already afraid due to the media sensationalizing the virus.

You can take the situation seriously without causing panic.
You can follow @alx.
