Lead by example. Do not panic.
CDC: We may have an employee infected with CV
President: Fuck that not going anywhere near that shit. I'm damn near 80yo.

If your life decisions rest on Presidential rhetoric, your problems are worse than Trump's.

God forbid someone doesn't join the spread of fear and panic

"If he wants to minimize the spread and minimize the electoral fallout, he should err on the side of encouraging people to believe the outbreak will be larger than expected, not smaller.
I’m still not convinced, though, that he sees this chiefly as a public health issue instead of a stock-market issue. If you’re worried about an epidemic, you have every reason to argue against complacency. You want to spook people into taking precautions. If you’re worried about a downturn in the Dow, however, then you don’t want to spook anyone. To the contrary, you might try happy talk to restore investors’ complacency, er, I mean confidence. (It’s not working, as a look at the markets today will show you.)"
Under promise, over deliver, was not a part of the art of making the deal. But his campaign might be well served if he starts acknowledging that the spread is real, and yeah, it's not his administration's fault. Or he can roll the dice and hope this resolves itself by November, while encouraging the populace to engage in activity that's only more likely to increase the spread. -

An allegedly great president revered by many to this day once said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
That is playing out before our eyes to the detriment of the market and employees who can't afford to sit home.
I'll take Trump's instincts over the standard political response to cover your ass by joining the panic.
I don't think anyone here makes their plans based on the words of the president regardless of who he is
I thought the public was tired of this kind of attack. Staff? -
Last I checked, Trump isn't a doctor, nor an Infectious Disease expert.
Not that it matters to anyone, but I'll go with what the CDC and Docs are saying, and take the Prez's words with a grain of salt.
It's not that hard. -

Personally I see "trying to calm public hysteria and stabilize the markets so to better my chances of reelection" where you see "instincts" (whatever the fuck that means), but those are just slightly different readings of the situation. -

I'm not spinning. Its a fact. The spin is to stop his re election which is patently obvious based on the amount of fear for something that might happen maybe someday
You want to panic go ahead. You want to live on every word Trump says have at it
I'll continue to be the voice of reason
