President Trump addressed the coronavirus today and issued guidelines for Americans. Basically, he wants 15 days of self-isolation.
The rumors that he will issue an order a lock down of all Americans is NOT TRUE. He never considered it.
CNN is reporting the Trump Administration is considering a national curfew but when you click on the article it actually says Mike Pence’s spokeswoman Katie Miller strongly disputed such stating “A curfew is not on the table.”

The President
The President has spoken. He is not mandating a nationwide lockdown or quarantine, but is advising for the next 15 days the following:
- No gatherings of 10 or more people
- No in-person schooling
- No discretionary travel
- Avoid restaurants, bars, and other gathering places
- Avoid gyms and public recreation areas in places of community spread
- Protect senior citizens and keep them isolated from the general community
- He did note that there may be localized quarantines and lockdowns in places where the virus has broken out. In some places, there will be curfews.
He said the virus might continue through August. You can read the White House’s guidelines here.
The Press
The media needs to stop using the virus as a means of taking down the President if they want everyone to take them seriously when they report. They won’t give him credit for the travel bans and torched him when he did it.
An article in the Washington Post admits the press circulated reports that the President shut down Barack Obama’s pandemic response team is fake news. The fake news is constant and the media has to cut it out.
DANGEROUS VIRUS
The flu killed 35,000 Americans last year and Covid-19, if it gets to spread like the flu, will allegedly kill 350,000 Americans. It is a terrible illness. On the other hand, the virus is another flu, the odds are most people will survive it, and when it’s over people might wonder why we pushed our country into recession for this.
The virus might slow down as the weather warms.

Yesterday I spoke with the great American Grocers and Supply Chain Executives. We are confident that supply will continue to meet demand nationwide. These beacons of our community will remain open for you, no matter what. We are working hard to remove any barriers to that effort!

I ask all Americans to band together and support your neighbors by not hoarding unnecessary amounts of food and essentials. TOGETHER we will stay STRONG and overcome this challenge!

Requesting voluntary 15 day self isolation sounds pretty reasonable to me. It the left that want so lock everything down and impose curfews.
Media and the Left pushing hysteria to destroy Trump and usher in Socialism.
Just looked up some statistics. As of the end of January there were more seasonal flu deaths in the US than the Wuhan virus deaths of the entire world combined, as of today.
