Coronavirus Scare and Bay Area Media: Business as Usual For Now

Image result for San Francisco TV Reporters

THE WORD ON THE STREET? Take it easy, be aware, don't do anything stupid, be an adult

More precisely: don't try to be a hero and look for an exclu.

Which is why you won't see anyone in the field doing a MOS with the homeless.

The SF Press Corps have been cautious as this Coronavirus scare becomes more expansive. The NDs are huddling with management --who are talking to corporate. Reporters, like the rest of us out there on the street or in an office, are potential casualties. They are exposed to the same environment we are, but it's pretty much SOP out there, at least now.

Stay Tuned.

  1. Coronavirus (Corona,latin for crown or halo because of those protein things that are on the outside) FAMILY..goe back at least 800 years in people..but it diverges. Interesting that its related to SARS,remember that from 2003?..but its already killed more people than SARS. This latest version is said to come from bats.
    Or,it originated from a Democratic server stored in the basement of a Pizza parlor in Boston as Trump tells me.

  4. Our fearless- and sleepless- President has announced he will not be cutting back his rallies ( attend at your own risk Trumpers) or his meet and greets. Photos show him shaking hands with Hoss looks like.
    But,let me tell you..for at least the next year,no photos of him shaking hands with Asians. No Asian American supporter will be allowed to get in his circle...no meeting with President Xi (Why does Trump only call him by his first name?) will be happening..or representatives.
    Doesn't take much for Trump to get all racist in a crisis.
    Watch out Kenny Choi. The SS might beat you to a pulp if you get too close!
