If you were told that you will end up like JFK if you don't play along... Who knows what has been said or done to make him change his mind completely, and so suddenly. Yes, Trump has a normal fear response to legitimate danger, like everyone else. And I believe he is fearful for reasons that extend far beyond this virus.
If the "deep state" or whomever wants Trump out of office, wouldn't it be easier for them to do that instead of just threatening that he will end up like JFK if he doesn't play along? Wow! the lengths you people go to defend him.
If you don't have an underlying condition, you're pretty much safe. Italy came out with a report that of the deaths, 99.2% had at least one serious medical condition. The real fear is that you can pass it someone who is in a vulnerable group.
That said, I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to quarantine everyone who is over 65 and/or has a serious underlying condition (and those two factors would overlap, since older people tend to have medical conditions) and let the working-age population continue to go to work and spend money. The vulnerable group would be protected, and the economy wouldn't be in a downspin.
1. Young people may not die from the virus in large numbers, but they can still be hospitalized from it. Letting it spread unchecked would quickly overwhelm the medical system.
2. It's unrealistic to quarantine everyone with an underlying condition. Many of these people need regular attention from medical professionals. Hospitals don't even have enough protective gear right now, it's not like nursing home employees can do their job while exposed to the virus.
LOL, if you don't support shutting down the entire economy for the virus that kills around 1% of those infected, it means you are Hitler! That's where this argument is headed! Can you imagine what previous generations would think of how wussified our modern civilization has become? They want to shut our entire lives down over a fricken germ! Previous generations dealt with actual problems like Nazis, but you all want to surrender to a germ. Unbelievable.
Some sick people might have to recover in a heated tent, oh the humanity! You people are too much!
Don't you know? There is a worldwide conspiracy of virus experts aiming to bring down Trump.
Yeah, the epidemiologists, the virologists, microbiologists, biochemists, chemists, internists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, etc - they're all in on the conspiracy!!!

One of the reasons the media is trying to freak people out is in hopes of Trump losing in November.
And so what of all the other countries- all about your god mrT? The news is global! The bug is global - doesn’t care anything about politics. Media is always media - the story is the story and it’s not fake or out of proportion to satisfy folks thoughts that it’s all about mrT.

Killing presidents tends to wake up too many sheep from their slumber. If there was such a thing as "the deep state" they would be far better off usurping the president's power to their advantage. Since Trump attached his success to the rising stock market, it would be much easier to just crash the stock market and bring on great depression 2.0. We've had the fakest recovery in American history, now we've seen the fakest crash and will probably see the fakest depression in US history. Strange times we are living in.

That's exactly what you want to do. Give up our economy, our way of life, our wealth, so we can all sit at home and cry about a disease that kills maybe 1%. You like to call people who disagree with you stupid. You're going to feel pretty stupid when the end result of this is a great depression and 20% unemployment... Unless you're one of those who has been rooting for the economy to collapse ever since Trump was elected. It's no surprise that almost all the TDS sufferers here are all for shutting down the economy over this not so super bug.
