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. -

Well we? did something.
The bill will fund the development of vaccines, medications to treat the disease and diagnostic tests all while helping state and local governments -- and foreign governments -- fight the coronavirus, which causes a disease officially known as COVID-19.
“We’re doing well, but it’s an unforeseen problem,” the president said as he signed the legislation in the White House's Diplomatic Reception Room. He made the comments before departing for Tennessee to tour damage from tornadoes that struck the state earlier this week.
"I don't think they're panicking," Trump said at the bill signing. "It'll go away."
"I think financial markets will bounce back," Trump said as markets were down over 700 points already Friday morning. "They were up 70 percent so it's a relatively small piece. I don't like to see it happen because I was looking for 30,000 relatively soon." -

https://foxnews.com/media/risk-of-coronavirus-remains-low-most-people-will-not-need-hospitalization
The risk of contracting coronavirus remains low for most Americans, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams reassured Friday.
In an interview on "America's Newsroom" with host Laura Ingle, Adams said that the administration wants the public to know the risk of infection and be prepared, but not to panic in the process.
"What you're going to hear from the president is what you've heard from him all along: that the risk to the average American of coronavirus at this time remains low," he said. "However, we are seeing pockets in this country of increased cases of coronavirus. And so, we want people to prepare."
Adams advised that Americans wash their hands frequently, cover a cough or sneeze, clean surfaces, and stay home if sick.
That said, Adams warned that wearing a mask was not just ineffective, it was potentially harmful and may increase the risk of getting the virus.
"We know that masks are not effective for the general public in keeping them safe from coronavirus and may actually increase their risk of getting coronavirus or the flu because if you don't wear a mask properly you often will end up touching your face frequently and can increase your risk of exposure to a respiratory disease," he explained.
"When you look at the people who are getting coronavirus, 80 percent of them are not needing to be hospitalized," Adams continued. "They're having a mild illness like the cold or like a minor flu."
"Of the 20 percent who go on to need hospitalization or more medical care, we know that the folks who are most at risk tend to be people who are elderly and people who have medical problems: heart disease, lung disease, cancer, and chemotherapy," he told Ingle. -
One difference with this generation is that they DO fear, fear itself.

Falling ass over teakettle across the handlebars, skinning one's palms playing smear the queer on the blacktop and understanding that you may be the toughest kid on your block but you'll never win a fight with a car had its merits.

Gee I wonder why the MSM and Democrats are “panicing” over Coronavirus
Trump ‘shocked’ by deadliness of flu — it’s killed at least 16,000 Americans this season
As the world focuses on coronavirus, at least 29 million people in the U.S. have experienced flu illnesses this season, the CDC says.

The risk is low if you're pretty much anywhere outside of Seattle. Most large companies in Seattle have started doing social distancing by requiring remote work. People are locking down and the impact is noticable. Commute times are way down.
I remote work anyways so not a big a big deal for me. If you aren't a white collar worker it might be harder. Either have to deal with more public exposure or take unpaid time off.
Most people I know are not worried about getting sick themselves but everyone also seems to have some close contact that is old or immune compromised that they are worried about spreading it to.
Seems like other large cities are going to go through the same thing as it continues to spread. -

I remember when Seattle was full of TUFF liberals who didn’t give a shit about WTO riots and earthquakes. (Both of which happened when I lived there) Life continued on.
