I'm in the heartleand. Conservative country. I don't think it's quite penetrated how bad it's going to be...there's a lot of Rush listeners and I don't know if he did on purpose or not but there's still a fair bit of skeptism. Me? I've been ready for about 3 weeks no matter what happens. Hand santizer and wipes every where. Gloves and masks when and if it starts getting bad and we have to go out. Food for 4 months in case there's quarantine. If it goes beyond 4 months it will be a long haul but I feel President Trump is up to the challenge.
I have been a fan of Rush for many years—but he is just not qualified to discuss this topic.
We are all human—and have our limitations.
I think Rush was told to not start a panic. Simple as that. I think when he went to DC for the SOTU...he was informed to help not start a panic.
