Another press conference, good. That said, the timing of Trump’s statements and conferences is rather odd. Middle of day because it is urgent, to bury it, to distract from SC primary? Seems like a dinner-time, get everyone listening would be better if there is something to really say to everyone.

2020 US deaths from influenza: 16,000 (TWO months)
2020 US deaths from Corona: <20
That said, the timing of Trump’s statements and conferences is rather odd.
and he doesn’t do that many in the US to begin with and he just did one less than 48 hours ago..plus not much warning time
mmmmmmmmm
Is The Don at Mar-a-Lago?
Will this be from the back of a golf cart?

Doesn’t matter in this day and age when it is held. It will be available immediately and anytime thereafter on social media.
He’s at CPAC so the timing is related to that. I’m hoping he calms the markets but also takes serious actions to contain. Also, as another poster said... address supply chain issues of essential items we depend on China for. No matter the real potential of this virus, he needs to take severe actions, if only to calm jitters.

I look for him to correct the lies being spread, started by Mini Mike, about the Trump administration gutting the CDC and destroying the country’s ability to ward off pandemics, etc.
It’s tricky. On one hand, no one wants to see a President micromanging ala Carter, but on the other hand, he should appear to be on top of the issue.
He is off to CPAC. He will be there past dinner time. It’s a scheduling thing.
