Coronavirus and a Media machine. Version 2. A media note.
Earlier, Russial media consumers were learning a lot of household details about the style of life in Chinese cities covered by the epidemic. These details were making an unpleasant, depressing impression.
Now you can see a nice photos of huge motorways - without cars. It's possible even to envy - "no traffic jams"! Overall, the impression is "an excellent organization!"
A remote meeting of more than 100,000 high level workers (through communication systems) - a new achievement of digital civilization?
In general, all this can give a positive impression ...
There are unclear details. "The fight against the epidemic has entered a critical phase!" - What 'critical' mean? This is a little incomprehensible.
Especially persistent media consumers can even meet a romantic photos (a lovers are communicating through glass) or an erotic photos (a protective suits are so transparent that they can make it possible to see magnificent female figures)...
In general, the coverage of the epidemic in China can lead to positive reflections and emotions...
Meanwhile, the epidemic is growing in Italy. In this country, closely linked to tourist flows, the epidemic has created a lot of hassle and caused a lot of trouble.
Mention is made of the outbreak of an epidemic in Iran. Some of Iran 's high-ranking people are reassuring: there is more panic in reports of an epidemic than real grounds...
It seems that the epidemic in South Korea is growing, and perhaps it is becoming catastrophic there. But relatively little is known about those events.
There is no clear information on the rate of spread of the epidemic and the percentage of sick-dead.
Reports of the epidemic are becoming more general, without household details. There are positive accents ("How well organized everything is!" "An excellent achievements!". Plus elements of romance and erotica - people know how to work on a media field!).
A minimum of digits, a lack of their (digits) analysis and comparisons ...
Calm, positive (neutral) emotions, an admiration for achievements - this is what is required...
