Coronavirus fears are affecting everyone. With more than 125,000 confirmed cases and almost 5,000 deaths, citizens around the world are fearful of the close future. Major sporting associations and leagues are suspended, nations are quarantined, schools are cancelled, stock markets are plummeting, and the COVID-19 Virus has been deemed a worldwide pandemic. All of this information combined with some media dramatization could make one fearful. What are the statistical facts… and what can one do to ensure the spread of the virus is halted?

Super Tuesday V2 is over and Joe Biden has effectively solidified his role as the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2020. How did establishment politics, voting demographics, and an overall fear of radicalism play into the former Vice President’s abrupt rise in voting popularity?

We’ll answer all of that and more on episode 126 of The Jay Doherty Podcast.

THE OVERALL FEAR/ SYMPTOM

This Coronavirus has surged in the fear of the public. My school was cancelled with an extension of spring break and the implementation of online learning, and as you may have seen on The Doherty Files, my online newspaper which I highly recommend reading that went over some of the broader marketable and daily concerns that people are having about this virus… My article, which is more of a conglomerate of trusted sources and relevant information says… 

Anyway, it is really a good/bad thing and it has sort of put the world on an abrupt pause. I live in Chicago; sort of the heart of downtown where there are crowds almost everywhere you turn when walking down the street and I’ve heard that in restaurants there are barely any people, many schools are cancelled, and there are a bunch of other regularly scheduled events which have been cancelled and that is really good/bad. I mean if a restaurant has to temporarily close because of Coronavirus and the employees go without a paycheck + have families to feed, it is a really tough thing to experience so I am very hopeful that we can cure this thing quickly and resume society because the practical implications of this virus are detrimental to the world  if they are to continue to grow as some medical experts predict. 

Right now there are… amount of cases in the world most of them stemming from China but a decent amount of them in Europe and in other places around the world, but relatively (and geospatially) speaking there is a notably low number in Russia which is just a tad suspicious.

Anyway, Coronavirus and its symptoms have been slightly mischaracterized by some folks in the media… either drummed up or put down, so I think it is always best to just consult the CDC or any certified medical professionals in this sort of case… the CDC has some great information that is constantly and reliably updated which you can find at  jay-doherty.com/cdccovid

So yes Coronavirus is spreading and many people are concerned that they may have contracted it but as there is so much fear around the virus and its potential effects that testing at a large scale is somewhat hard to find. .css-j9qmi7{display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:1rem;margin-top:2.8rem;width:100%;-webkit-box-pack:start;-ms-flex-pack:start;-webkit-justify-content:start;justify-content:start;padding-left:5rem;}@media only screen and (max-width: 599px){.css-j9qmi7{padding-left:0;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;}}.css-j9qmi7 svg{fill:#27292D;}.css-j9qmi7 .eagfbvw0{-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;color:#27292D;}
