Yep, overly simplified statistics used solely to sow panic and fear among the populace. And as I've recently noticed, when cases are too low to convincingly do this, the media just shifts focus to whichever country 4000 miles away is doing worst at that particular moment.

There is a minimum of Corona panic that must always be maintained in the press. When all domestic sources of Corona panic are exhausted - when all the numbers are in retreat - they find some other country that has rising metrics & they panic about Corona over there instead
