I see both sides of this. I understand the concern as this could be worse than H1N1 and acting now could save 20,000 lives, maybe more. On the other hand, it does seem a little over the top and/or premature.

Trump's in a tough spot. Very little news with H1N1 but the MSM will(probably already are) list all the deaths every day. I wouldn't put it past blue States or Counties to call every case of flu, coronavirus. Look who's canceled things, Sports, entertainment, tech and coastal States. Left, Left, Left and Left. It's a shitty situation.

Look at what every other country is doing that has over 1000 cases, we are not overreacting any more than every other country. Even Switzerland shut everything down today.

Trump is in a very tough spot and his actions have been spot on. I think he tried to quell financial panic early rather than address the medical side and I'm glad he's taking a better approach now.

Regardless of what he does, it will be his fault to the left. I usually applaud Trump for throwing it back in the face of his detractors i just think he was a little shortsighted on this one.

Over the top? Maybe, to people who are responsible and mature morally obligated citizens but, that is not today's America.

All this panic might end up being just what we need for people to get serious about for not spreading or getting disease.

Those of us who stay engaged in such concerns all the time often forget how stupid and unengaged and uninformed most Americans are.
The things happening today force them to pay attention otherwise they just would not in a million years.

We will keep that infection needing hospital care hump low and in November there will be only one easy choice for who to vote for to get the economy rip roaring again.

Trump.
