That is exceptionally bad. Basically, it’s irresponsible. The LA Times put it on the frontpage today but nothing remotely close to looking like that.
I don’t suppose it has occurred to them, or if it was mentioned it was drowned out, that running headlines that scream “panic!” even when expressed in words that say “don’t”, they make disease-tracking potentially more difficult, if it arrives, by raising the flood of false alarms and, at the same time, sewing fear and confusion.
