Why does most media (except news) avoid mentioning Coronavirus? (lemmy.ml)

I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

Why don't they disabled comments ? A lot of channels do this...

IIRC, the CDC has disabled comments on many videos, but it doesn't stop the video from being dislike bombed. Plus most news sources don't disable comments so all of the anti-masker crap just continues on those forums as well.

Even if you disabled likes, comments, everything, the crazies might just link to your video on wherever they congregate (I'm guessing mostly Facebook and Parler), and could even start spamming your other videos with fake information. They're fucking relentless.
