Here’s What To Expect From Both Biden & Trump On The Covid Crisis

Six phrases and words that would have made zero sense six months ago. Now, we hardly hold a conversation without using every last one. The only thing spreading faster than coronavirus are conversations about coronavirus. And with them, fear.

In February of this year, Time reported that more than 41,000 English-language articles mentioned the word “coronavirus.” Compare that to 1,800 when “Ebola” was spreading in 2018. Along those same lines, in the middle of March, coronavirus articles from 3,000 high-traffic sites made up 1% of published articles but 13% of all article views.

There is no lack of coverage or conversation surrounding coronavirus. And that’s as it should be. People need to know that status of the virus as well as how to stay safe. It’s important for the media to keep people informed.
