Here in AZ there have been 12 confirmed cases of coronavirus. The media in AZ is saying that it's more than likely 70,000 people in AZ actually have it because they "think" that 1% of the population in all of America actually have it and 70,000 is 1% of AZ's population. They got their number based on a single quote from the CDC about a model they did in Ohio and turned that into an entire fake narrative that 70,000 people in AZ have it lol
The media in AZ are pulling crazy numbers out of their ass to scare the fuck out of people and keep people watching their "news". I do believe that way more people than 12 have gotten it in AZ, especially since not many people are actually getting tested for it, but to blatantly say that 70,000 people have it in one state based on a guess is fucking dangerously stupid to put out there. That's the type of shit that has people buying a year worth of toilet paper lol
Blows my mind that the media can just make shit up.
