I'm not a big fan of Mr. Trump, but I think this time he's right. He is not "downplaying" anything, as far as I can see. There's absolutely no reason for panicking. At my local supermarket, toilet paper is sold out because people are crazy. Rice and pasta are sold out. People are hoarding long-life food. They are destroying supply chains. (Europe here)
PS I've seen a terrible video about three ladies screaming and fighting over a pack of toilet paper, somewhere in Australia.

Remember when everyone thought we were about to engage in WW3 with Iran?

He never denied it first of all. The first thing he did was request billions from congress to prepare for it! Second, More people died in the last few weeks from influenza (Which has a vaccine) Than the total from Corona virus! Facts are the key ;)

20,000 have died from the flu and people won’t even get flu shots! Nobody says a word!

Who is more right- Trump, saying that Coronavirus is just like the flu, there's no need to panic, or IstillMissEP, who is a Trump supporter but is freaking out about the bioweapon unleashed on the world?

Over time the coronavirus will burn itself out for this season...

It won't go away if nothing is done to fix it.

Interesting, but he never denied the Coronavirus.[image]

Oh by the way - the irrational "corona virus fear" (based on nothing, it's just another type of flu) is similar to the irrational "illegal immigration" fear, in my opinion.

Likely just trying not to panic people as it will damage the economy and cause food riots/put stress on supply chains.

Yes, the number of cases won't increase exponentially because of 🤞 and 🙏
