John, I agree the media is milking the public's anxiety about this for all it's worth. There is constant attention on this on every newscast, the way there used to be uninterrupted coverage after a mass shooting, back in the day before we got hardened to them. The media will provide whatever sells, but sometimes what the public needs is not what they want. This coronavirus is not going to be the end of American society or world civilization. It is a COLD. It morphs into pneumonia which can be fatal for those who are elderly or have breathing problems. That's not good, but it isn't ebola, either.
People are screeching that Trump is unprepared when so far he has stopped people from entering the country from affected areas which was SMART and the folks returned here who caught it overseas have been successfully quarantined and no one has died.
Stop turning this into a political football, John, please! It does not do anyone any good to make the public even more uneasy than it is. Look at the stock market.
At least think about what I said. So far, Trump's done okay because there's not that much to be done at this point. Let's see what happens. Bitching about it and endlessly criticizing him for stuff that hasn't even happened isn't going to help in the least.
