This is mostly contributed by the media (especially, mainstream media), as it is ratings gold, as everybody is tuned in to this, mainly because of the social distancing guidelines by the government and CDC. The media sows fear to people by most of the time hyping the situation and exaggerating coronavirus numbers when in fact, it is just way below your typical, seasonal flu. There is no question that coronavirus is a BIG problem for any country, as it is a new strain of pathogen. We do not know most of it yet. However, data shows that it is preventable and manageable. This means we can do something about it to have it under control. But, it is important to know that it is certainly NOT how the media (not all) overstates it to be. We must rally behind our leaders, our health care providers. Our President, who works hand-in-hand with them. This is pretty much a piece of cake, but only if we are all together in this.
