      Seconding Conor: Sorry, Nick, but I absolutely deny it, and I'm pretty sensitive to "social justice" B.S. A few op-eds and tweets, sure. But they were a drop in the bucket. And fwiw, even this Vox piece concedes travel restrictions are a good idea. https://www.vox.com/2020/2/7/21126758/coronavirus-xenophobia-racism-china-asians …

      About a month ago it was, what, 60 articles saying the stigma was the real problem? I admit I don't know how many articles claimed otherwise at the same time frame but it was bad enough that people openly made travel plans based on them handwaving away the virus concerns.

      I seriously doubt that it was "60 articles" if you only look at the major media.

      There was a Twitter thread I saw that cited this. I'll try to dig it up. I also saw a thread more recently from @zeynep who has written for a number of outlets including the NYTimes. She was the one who mentioned that she saw people make travel plans based on those articles.

      There were articles downplaying the risk of a pandemic. But that was bad info from the WHO.

      There was also a Buzzfeed writer openly mocking Bay Area companies who instituted a no-handshake policy. Also Vox was being Vox. I'm still searching for the main thread I saw a month back that mentioned over 60 articles having been published with the "the stigma is worse" angle

      The president is saying we don't need to send ventilators to NYC and people are seriously complaining about a Buzzfeed article from 2 months ago?

      Maybe my anger is misplaced here? I'm angry at mainstream journalist outlets because I expect them to know better. I expect them to do better. I expect nothing of Trump.

      I didn't even bother going into February. The idea that NYT wasn't covering this AND being alarmist is flatly false.https://twitter.com/AdotSad/status/1243223395019321344?s=20 …

          I have my own reasons for my significant mistrust of many media outlets. @CathyYoung63 is aware of many of them. But I grew up having respect and lionization of the free press hammered into me. That's why it hurts when I see that trust misplaced.

          OK, so I looked at the January op-eds mentioning the coronavirus. I found one op-ed by Farhad Manjoo warning that if we panic it may stigmatize the marginalized. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/29/opinion/coronavirus-panic.html?searchResultPosition=12 …
