This morning, Alisyn Camerota portentously proclaimed that CNN has declared coronavirus a "global pandemic." But CNN's guests weren't highly emotional wrecks worried about what's next.

First, a passenger onboard the Grand Princess cruise ship off California told a CNN reporter via an online conversation that he was not worried "at all" about contracting coronavirus, given that he's been quarantined and protected in his room. The passenger also said that he "absolutely" viewed the situation as "overkill."

Confronted with the passenger's calm attitude, the CNN reporter was quick to declare, "well, that’s just one passenger’s perspective."

Camerota then interviewed NIAID Director, and member of the White House coronavirus task force, Dr. Anthony Fauci. When Camerota informed Fauci that CNN has declared coronavirus a pandemic, Fauci replied that calling it a pandemic "is not going to make any difference with what we do." He suggested that people not get "all bent out of shape about what you call it."

In fact, it's fair to assume that getting people "all bent out of shape" is exactly what CNN has in mind.

Here's the transcript.
