It's comparable to a pandemic flu such as the 1957 Asian Flu. The China virus so far appears to be twice as deadly as the standard non pandemic version of the flu and has a greater spread rate than the seasonal flu. Social distancing, hand washing, treatments and more preparedness could lead to fewer deaths than the seasonal flu which would allow people to get back to work in areas outside of shithole Democrat run states and cities.
Politics is ridiculous. Spending 2 trillion to pay people not to work is ridiculous. The public ie voters are not rational and the media is taking full advantage of that. So this is the game Trump is forced to play.

Could...maybe...might....shutting down the entire economy is ridiculous.
