In a dramatic sign that the coronavirus crisis is improving in China, the last two of 16 temporary hospitals in the epicenter city of Wuhan have been shut down, according to a report.
The website known as the
Drudge Report does not need to engage in fear porn to get clicks, they are one of the most-visited news sites in the world, with 41,844,062 visits just yesterday. That is an insane amount of web traffic and it brings in
millions of dollars per month for Matt Drudge. So why is he doing it? Why is the Drudge Report right now peddling salacious stories about worst-case possibilities regarding the coronavirus?
Shame on you, Matt Drudge, shame on you.
"I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works." Psalm 26:6,7 (KJB)
For the past 24-hours, my social media DMs and my email inbox has been blowing up with stories about 'martial law soon to be declared!!!', and 'millions in America to be infected!!!', and none of that is true. Let me repeat, none of that is happening and none of that looks likely to happen in the future. The truth is much more boring than that, as you can see in the articles I have given you below. And listen, if a real threat from martial law actually does come about, you know that NTEB will be one of the first to bring that story to you. Rest easy and wash your hands, God is in control. Trust Him.

The Drudge Report wants you to believe we are under siege from the coronavirus....we are not.
FROM THESE MISLEADING HEADLINES YOU WOULD THINK AMERICA WAS UNDER SIEGE, WE ARE NOT. SHAME ON YOU, MATT DRUDGE!
As we have told you from the beginning, the
COVID-19 coronavirus is a
real virus, and like any other nasty virus it has killed some people. It needs to be taken seriously and common sense precautions need to be taken. But this is
not a pandemic as Hollywood presents a pandemic, this is
not a plague sweeping the globe. It's a virus, one of many dozen that exist in the world, and as it hits countries with sub-par healthcare systems and a high concentration of elderly, it is going to do some damage. But even in China where it all started, the crisis has already passed, so what does that tell you?

very optimistic" China had the coronavirus under control, citing reductions in the numbers of new cases being recorded in the country.
