Are you plagued by the evolving COVID 19 situation?

The mainstream media is drilling words into our heads about the situation around the virus. These are words designed to have you subconsciously primed for the idea of death and disease.

For example, the metaphorical rather than the literal sense of the word plague, and the widespread use of the word evolving but to describe the situation: the fear about the virus instead of the actual virus.

Yet at other times euphamisms are used like social isolation for "quarantine" and social distancing for removing the freedom of peaceful assembly and travel.
