Why, because that will give people hope and will make them less scared.
Media Inc. is only about creating a narrative, not reporting facts. Hysteria creates clicks, and clicks is what has monetized the internet. Back when news required a subscription, there was less incentive to generate spin.

My wife had flu-like symptoms that lasted 3 days. Monday my head felt floaty, and today I'm slightly down on energy. Our 2 year old has no symptoms. The other fact is that for younger people, the China virus is not much of a risk.

I'm happy I'll have built at least temporary immunity and can go about my normal life again.
