The constant reporting of the updated numbers of COVID-19 cases in particular areas overstates the risk to others, since those who have gotten better and are not a potential source of contagion are included in those numbers. And this bias will grow the longer the crisis persists. Reporting how many we believe currently have the disease would be far more accurate and useful.
I believe these numbers are being misstated to keep people in a state of panic.

I just saw a long list of articles from a variety of NY area news media that had headlines which would terrify most people. It's a way of keeping people from pushing back...no need to think, we'll keep you safe. From what? Ourselves?
