Anyone who hasn't watched the excellent Professor Whitty lecture on Youtube would probably find it very reassuring in many ways. There's no hysteria, just the facts as they are currently known. It's quite long, at around 1 hour and 20 minutes, but it's very well presented. There's no fluff. He explains, clearly and succinctly, what is known now about the virus, presents information about previous pandemics/epidemics in the 20th and 21st century, and explains in plain English why the situation is evolving all the time.
To those saying "the situation keeps changing", this is a novel (as in new) coronavirus; we haven't encountered this particular one before as a species so we're still learning how to deal with it.
Imagine you're trying to hit a moving target with a bow and arrow wearing a blindfold over one eye with one hand tied behind your back and all the time terrified people are yelling at you that you're rubbish at archery....
For those wondering about vaccines, the common cold is also in the coronavirus "family". That might give you an idea as to why it's going to be a bit tricky to come up with a vaccine, combined with the fact the medics and scientists don't understand, yet, how COVID-19 works. If you put into context that the rest of the world (outside China) has only been made aware of this virus within the past 4 months, the timescales look a little different.
Yesterday on one of the registries I checked (ClinicalTrials.gov) there were over one thousand trials being conducted world-wide to try to find a solution (not all vaccines, other interventions as well). The day before it was just under one thousand. Scientists and medics are literally working around the clock on this, and the amount of co-operative research and sharing of knowledge is staggering. In a good way.
As it happens, I don't think most of the mainstream media are doing their jobs properly, but then I could rant about BBC "news" and what it's become in the last few years until the cows come home. Practically, though, and to be fair, the media get only a few minutes, 5 or 10 if they're lucky, to condense complex concepts into something that most people can understand.
