CNN announced Monday the news organization will start referring to the coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic even though several global health organizations have not yet labeled the crisis as such.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the network's chief medical correspondent, revealed the network's reasoning in an online post. Gupta said the change in vernacular is "not a decision we take lightly," and notes that "it should not cause panic."
Neither the World Health Organization nor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have labeled the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.

They executives that did that need to be ARRESTED.
CNN takes the cake; soooo irresponsible.
Just like the normal flu? CNN are lapdogs for the swamp. TRUMP 2020 ROCK ON.FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO KILL THE TRUMP TRAIN
It sad to see so much excitement in projecting massive load of life and a stock market crash. I guess any opportunity to hang something around Trump's neck.
Not a pandemic, it's a Dem panic.
Wow, how fortunate for us that we have a "major" media outlet taking control and informing the public about this "pandemic" just when the epicenter of the outbreak is beginning to make headway into getting ahead of this. Thank you so so much CNN (Crappy Never News)
Now CNN is a medial news network? Give me a break
Normal flu is killing 10s of thousands currently corna 25 or 30 in US. They really want to crash the economy. Soon whistle blowers, congress hearings and then vote for impeachment again.
Who is CNN?
A pandemic? The Spanish flu of 1919 killed 50 million people. That is a pandemic. Corona has killed 4,000.
Who watches CNN's tv "shows" anyway?
More importantly THREE days until TGIF!!!!
