Dr. Drew Pinsky slams media for inciting coronavirus 'panic'

Celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky said the media is stoking the flames of coronavirus “panic” in the United States, and the industry should “be held accountable.”

“What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed, that people’s lives are being upended, not by the virus, but by the panic,” Pinsky said in an interview with CBS last week. “The panic must stop. And the press, they really somehow need to be held accountable because they are hurting people.”
