Covid 19. Over reaction ?

I understand that people have their own opinions and passions about the Media and Politics, but on the whole, and for as long as I've been around, (76 years) the media and politicians were normally at the top of the list for gross misinformation.

I understand how political leanings can sway peoples opinions of what to believe or not.

Being passionate about anything, including your political thinking, isn't a bad thing but it can lead to not being able to communicate and reason with other people that may not agree with your opinion.

I may be way out of line but it would seem to make more sense to use our passions towards a more productive outcome.

Arguing with other people about this makes no sense when nobody is going to change their mind set. I'm as guilty as anyone.

What positive steps, if any, could be taken?

Using common sense and be being cautious is a pretty safe bet.

In my opinion, and I'm not going to get into arguments, just what I observe:
media and the Democrat Party marches to the beat of Media Matters and George Soros

Which way does the Media type these 2 words, don't, stop or don't stop. They state the exact opposite yet the same 2 words. Media writes it the way they want their narrative to be.

Interesting to see Sweeden's response to this dilemma. Whether this is successful or not, I wish them health and safety.

The Republican Party and the Tea Baggers march to the beat of Fox News, Breitbart News, Infowars, The Drudge Report, and Charles Koch. An honest and fun loving group indeed.

Yeah, the Dems and Commies would rather put their faith(am I allowed to use the word faith around Dems?)in life-long politicians, "professional" lawyers and media hearsay from an un-named source.

The Dictator that you support has told over 15,000 lies since he has been office. Now refute that with facts.
