Superlatives are often the main characters in news

 

One problem with COVID-19 news is that media favors superlatives, and that puts the average cases in shadows. The fact is that COVID-19 is lethal less than 3% of the cases, and this means that the virus itself is not very dangerous if we are thinking about the entire human race, but the number of deaths depends on the level of medical attention. 

So this is one thing, what we must realize when we are thinking and reading about the news of the COVID-19 and another kind of stuff. People like to read about negative things, and that thing makes the news is always telling polarized truth about the world, which is full of hate, diseases, and pain, which means that the world is a really cold and bad place.

At this point, I must say that even if the government opens restaurants and other things, we are not forced to use those things. Why we should run to bars straight when they are opening. There is a possibility, that the terraces would be open, but the people can think themselves are they using them and maybe they can go to tests to find out, do they have antibodies in the blood. 

When we are reading about GRB (Gamma-Ray Bursts) and black holes, we are facing also the extreme phenomenon. We are forgetting that GRBs and black holes are not the most common thing, what we are facing in the universe. Those effects are the most powerful and mysterious things, and maybe the universe is full of them. But then we might ask what number of stars would turn to the black hole when their energy production ends. 

And here we must say that most of the stars turn to the white dwarf and neutron stars, which is also a fascinating thing. By the way, when we are talking about the energy production of the stars, we should rather say, that the internal energy production in the white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes has been ended. But when those objects are pulling particles to impacting them, the energy production happens on the surface of the object, and the transition disk of the black hole is one of the powerful energy sources in the universe. 

But let's go back to think about negative thinking and negative news. When we are looking at the news about the society of the USA, we might get the image that the average U.S citizen lives in a private house, owns a gun, and drives with a four-wheel-drive vehicle. And pays the most of their salary to the insurance company and is white. A normal black person lives in a slum, owns guns, and uses some kind of narcotics. Or sometimes the image, what the news is giving is that most common American is the President Of The United States of America. 

And here we must also take a couple of more stereotypes under observation. When we are looking at TV, the most common way to spend time in Russia is drinking booze, and in Great Britain the most common thing, that people are discussing is Brexit and the Scottish independence movement is continuing its revolution against Westminster. So we are living in a very unstable and dangerous world. 

Now we are waiting that the limitations, what the COVID-19 will be removed. But at the same time, we are afraid that we would get this virus, which can kill us. The thing, what we should understand is that there are two ways to act. One is that the government allows opening the restaurants and other things and the other is that the government would order to keep them in close. And the third thing is that we must self think, that should we keep the distance to other people, and live without those things for a while.
