But wait.  There are no consequences of significance when a news outlet either falsely reports a story, or just plain does a poor job with sourcing.

Me, I'll be waiting for the retractions published on page 32, in tiny print.

Not true. The Welt story was wrong. But Business Insider, Reuters and others went with it anyway despite not having their own sources. Now everyone is back peddling.

Just another day where #fakenews never ends.  You folks should be smarter by now and not fall for explosive tripe like this.  But you're not.   Why is that, exactly?  Maybe you like clicking on  those groovy phishing emails too.

Meanwhile, Warby Parker is closing all of their brick and mortars indefinitely at 6 pm today.  I has a developing case of the sniffles to boot.  Or is it the other thing ?  Won't take long to tell.

I like the suggestion of getting gift cards from local establishments, to give them the funds to hold them over. Some can even be purchased online.

he says offering no evidence. I guess I'll believe him because he says what you want to hear

 
You say. Repeat, repost, regurgitate, because the story says what you want to hear.

It seems you're not very familiar with how real journalism is supposed to work.  BTW... ever heard of Gawker Media ?    I'd guess no.

When you prefer to listen to ("free market") behavioral economists over epidemiologists...
I’m an epidemiologist. When I heard about Britain’s ‘herd immunity’ coronavirus plan, I thought it was satire

This instance of pandemic is giving world governments an unprecedented opportunity to exercise politics of suppression via an exemplary advice of social distancing, etc. due to corona. There have been other instances, like this one during my childhood, which I don't remember. No schools were being closed, then. 

The media, concerted worldwide into more or less one voice with headlines being same all around the globe play their dirty role in distributing fear and terror into everyone's hearts. Citizens rights are being restricted on a global scale, and be it through states of national emergency or infectious disease acts, citizens rights are being infringed upon like never before. They do not want people to gather and like to root out any uprising before it even starts.

Tomorrow in Paris, the Yellow Vests are planning a bigger march, heavy police forces are presumptively sent in already (since large gatherings are forbidden). The National Guard is deployed in the state of NY, etc. - Police rights and surveillance are aggressively being extended all over, often silently 'behind the curtain', while corona fear is taking all the headlines...

To really fight a pandemic, it needs (undrained and unstrained) efficient public health systems, which are practically nowhere existing in the west. Instead of doing something, or anything about it, the opposite is what politicians seem to be aiming at. In my country, with hospitals and nursing homes heavily understaffed and stressed out long before this, the minister of health just lowered(!!!) the minimum staffing rules for hospitals to "help" cope the crisis, a week ago. Of course, most of them are private institutions. ~ The mantra of "helping the economy" fill their own pockets is still holding sway. Long live the oligarchs.

How long?
 
Indeed.  The cunnundrum is that to affect change requires power and power is ultimately undefeated in regards to corruptibility in human hands. I have become convinced that all true progress will only be achieved through an inward spiritual revolution from the ground up and outside of the realm of politics and government altogether.   However this requires a level of unity that is well beyond our species capability. So vatta u gonna do?

I actually think the US will come out of this pandemic thing ok, or at least not as bad as someone might think given your dismal healthcare for the lower income people. One strength of the US system is that you have more ICU beds per capita than any other country.
