All true statements, only time will tell. I’ll reserve judgment and let the next two weeks unfold.

From a healthcare worker... I was thoroughly impressed by the address from the group of people Trump has assembled to combat this Wuhan virus, so please for the love of God do what they say and participate in social distancing.

Stay safe, stay healthy... if for no other reason than every single one of us to head to the polls in November.

The Media had cried wolf so many times that even if they were being truthful many people wont believe them. All credibility is gone for the foreseeable future.

The media has lied to us on very very big things.

Russia, Kavanaugh, DJT's supposed racism, DJT supposedly being Hitler, impeachment justification....

Why should they expect us to believe anything they say?

The bottom line is the President is asking us to act, for the good of the country. Why people are defiant of his request continues to mystify me. He’s well aware he’s sacrificing his beautiful economy, temporarily, for the safety of the country, but he also feels it’s a sacrifice worth making, because he knows what we’re facing.

Can we stop second-guessing GEOTUS and just do what he asks? Because you do realize that all this stuff, like business closures, is coming from the top, right? This isn’t Democrats fucking the President now, this is the President asking them to do this, and them complying.

This is starting to get crazy. There’s a time for skepticism, and a time for action. We’re in the action phase, and we’ll have plenty of time for skepticism later.

So, the same 'Deep State' Government that you do not trust to run the DMV, Healthcare and guns.

So now, listen to them about this COVID-2... I mean Bird Flu... I mean Mosquito virus... I mean COVID-19?

this time it is real.

Let us self quarantine, not assemble, watch Governers say they are suspending buying guns because COVID-19 infecting guns? Infecting alcohol sales? Self quarantine while the cell phone companies say they will give you unlimited data so you can keep up with the sniffles?

C'mon... Trump is right up there telling you to take this seriously. There's no media bias to the words coming directly out of his mouth.

I am not. I am talking about the media and people who might give bad information to Trump.

This thing is not spreading like any epi/pandemic in the past.

I stay dubious with my head on a swivel while still being helpful to my fellow man.

None of what you typed refutes my points.

Ok, so maybe I had a bit too much rhetoric in my initial post.

Which epidemics or pandemics have had more deaths than this one?

How much media coverage was given to the health concerns from 1975 forward?

How many Constitutional Rights are being 'soft' infringed due to principalities?

Why does gun buying 'flatten the curve'?

I am so glad you were with me. I am so glad you are in the healthcare field. So, what am I missing, not concerning at the curve?

You bought an AR-15 today? And a beer?

You are just like me and everyone one this site. You have me sold, because you say you bought the MOST controversial gun in politics.

I now want to buy a paper mask, get a corona beer, and buy an AR-15 while feeling COVID FEAR.

Try again... try harder.

Agreed. We're 10 days away from where Italy was. We don't act, we'll make them look like the model health care system. The president knows this, and has said this. Don't be like the Democrats and do opposite of whatever Trump says regarding the media.

Trump said the media was fair on the coverage of the virus in the conference today!

We're trying to avoid what is happening in Italy right now. I'm confident in our President's plan and cautiously optimistic that a month from now he'll be proven right - again.

The media is a virus sowing division yes. But not taking this seriously is stupid too.

I really don't think it's as bad as the media is making it out to be.

Maybe this is because it's not that bad, maybe because drastic action was taken so quickly.

I do think there is a lot more going on here than we know about.

I do, however, wholeheartedly believe that Trump would not tell us to do something that he did not believe was for the best. He loves this country and it's people and would not do this to us on a whim.

I don't doubt the accuracy of this statement but who is this guy and are there any tangible links that back up what he's saying?

Here is an article forwarded by my daughter. Of note, S Korea had a 9% death rate.. granted they have a high percentage of smokers but still. The reaction by the CDC and POTUS is that unknown. Better to overreact and be wrong than underreact and have tens or hundreds of thousands of dead Americans. Stay safe our there, be prepared. My own theory is that this is the false storm created to mask the martial law and arrests as the government is given back to the people... Either way stay safe pedes. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10212898906025735&id=1782600384

Powerful clarity here.

Can we PLEASE link sources for claims, it’s much easier to help others that way.

Postings like this are only going to hurt President Trumps reelection in november, I wish you people would understand this. The time for flippancy and downplaying are long past, but obviously you don't get it. American families are now dealing with schools and businesses shutting down for a month, and it isn't because of the media.
