No diff than Republican mid term candidates did in 2014 regarding Ebola. The Ebola Truthers went into overdrive to fear monger. This ended the day after the mid terms.

As it relates to this virus, the Trump Admin deserves criticism for the inconsistent and muddled communications over the past 2 months.

If Trump wasn't about politicizing it he would make no reference to Democrats and media.

He would make his statements, have his people chat up their talking points and move on.

If you are issuing clear, concise messages you don't have to make all the other garbage claims.
Corporate Communications 101.

Any chance that people will stop lying and trying incite panic for political purposes around this issue? When that happens, then sure.

At this point that describes both sides.

It’s all about clear and consistent communication which has not been forthcoming from this administration.

Took this past week’s market and the death in Washington to compel the Admin to make up for lost time.

There was a very different tone at today’s press conference.

Probably not.

When there were coronavirus threads here on P & C about a month ago, they all got shut down and locked and were were told to move it on over to another board.

Apparently, as long as we keep this political, we can stay open for business.

He didn't have a choice, did he? It's either get solemn and serious and quit pointing fingers or continue to look inept and ill-informed. It must have been hard for him.

I don't get the bottled water thing either. I drink tap water, I guess some people don't.

4 cases? We have more than that currently. How would Mexico having 4 cases be our worst nightmare?
