I can't explain it, but I also can't whine about it because it's not hurting me. The media is an expert at turning people into hypochondriacs.

"The sun is going to burn out and we're all gonna freeze to death!"

"An asteroid is going to strike the earth and we're all gonna burn to death!"

"Trump's tariffs are going to cause you to get erectile dysfunction!"

Don't let them control you.
