The president must now be seen to be getting ahead of this virus. He probably needs to make a serious address to the nation in which he soberly assesses the contagion, outlines the steps he has taken, outlines the steps he is now undertaking to protect the people.
Of course he must walk a very fine line between talking to the people straight and avoiding panic.
As I said in my initial post, the Democrats will attempt to hang this around the president neck as Trump's Hurricane Katrina. He must be seen to be getting ahead of the problem both as a health problem and as an economic problem.
