Very well stated.
He wasn't worry about any panic. He was worried about offending his base who tend to be anti-gov't overreach, laws/regulation infringing on their rights, etc. He's always been this way.

That's interesting. I could have sworn I heard Trump in the recording saying several times he intentionally downplayed it

Though not a peep about this from the left wing media.
Would you have believed the "left wing media" or the man who could shoot you on fifth Ave. and not lose a single follower?

Everyone didn't get infected immediately in the Flu pandemic of 1918, either. This one is still in its first wave.

Stay safe.
This is far from over at this rate, will be continuing through 2021, unfortunately. Trump lied (again) and said we're rounding the turn and getting to the homestretch. Vaccine will be ready "soon"....Fauci differs. Vaccine has no instant results. The masks and social distancing will continue for awhile.




Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said Friday that normal times won’t replace America’s long coronavirus nightmare until deep into 2021, explaining that it will take months to widely administer a vaccine.

The 79-year-old immunologist said he continues to expect a vaccine to be available by the beginning of 2021.

“But by the time you mobilize the distribution of the vaccine and get a majority or more of the population vaccinated and protected, that’s likely not going to happen until the end of 2021,” Fauci told MSNBC. “If you’re talking about getting back to a degree of normality prior to COVID, it’s going to be well into 2021, maybe even towards the end of 2021.”





So when Trump lies about this being "around the turn"...he's not being truthful again. Lies: 20,000+ and counting.
