After reporting the bizarre coincidence of having test numbers and case numbers both spike on the exact same day (see previous post), the CBC wasn't done with scaring the crap out of us.
Here's the "runaway train" headline.
And here's the growing alarm bells.
That's at least the third fear-mongering covid story on CBC news today. You don't think they're deliberately trying to spread fear, do you?
Neither of these stories are news, they are entirely speculative. The actual information they contain could readily be delivered without the sensationalism of alarm bells and runaway trains.
It is possible that those who come up with the scary headlines intend them to have a cautionary effect. Perhaps people will be more careful after reading them.
Perhaps, but I think it's more likely that the fear-mongering is intended to keep the populace frightened, and therefore more pliable than they otherwise might be.
