I Am Not Reassured by Trump’s Words

I think Trump is downplaying the Corona Virus. He said (while sounding unwell himself) that there are 22 patients. What happened to the 62, we had from only a day or two ago. He said, if you’re healthy, and become infected, you’ll be fine. Tell that to the healthy young people’s loved ones, who died from it. The young whistleblower doctor for one, was only 32.

He keeps saying how well prepared we are, but the CDC still don’t have testing kits distributed around the country, and the first kits were defective. It doesn’t seem like well prepared to me, and we know at least one person in California and Oregon, are walking around with the virus infecting God knows how many others, who will then infect more, and so on. No, Mr. President, I am not reassured by your words, and will take precautions regardless.

My husband is a public health professional and he is nervous. They've also started controlling the flow of public information and that's never a good sign.

This is what I picked up from Trump’s update that he’s not being honest, and downplaying the potential severity of the problem. I understand they don’t want mass panic, but being dishonest is going to lose more lives than save them. @SwampFlower

@Carissimi It weakens legitimacy to admit where we are ill prepared. Anyone in power will try to cover their hiney. 🤷
