Again,

I feel for President Trump as he is in the proverbial and untenable position of “damned if I do and damned if I don’t”. If he doesn’t act on the side of caution the media and the Dem’s attack, if he overreacts or under-reacts they do the same. The sad thing is we have way too many people in our Nation that cannot think for themselves and cannot apply common sense because they don’t have any. If they did, the Dem’s would realize that supporting the two losers they now have as front runners for 2020 cannot win. Oh, maybe there is a plot to insure the pick for VP is the real candidate for President but the dropouts are no better and will not win either.


My opinion is the same as allot of us that do have common sense, the mass media did their job of disseminating a false and exaggerated narrative until it was well implanted and accepted by many and then did their expected back-tracking and resolved to be more responsible in their reporting, at least concerning the USA. having already done the damage they intended to do.


The scare they (mm) implanted has done its dirty work and the result is crippling our society and slowing the economy in an attempt to reverse all the good will and support for the gains accomplished by the Trump Administration, make no mistake about that folks.


Calm down, find a reputable web-site for the actual medical facts, the real numbers for those infected and the actual mortality rate and take the same precautions you would avoiding any outbreak. The COVID-19 is not a pandemic killer of all it infects, not even close, look it up. It is more manageable than pneumonia and the deaths are mostly the elderly with underlying heath issues and compromised immune systems.


If we were not living in the technological age we are and we did not have a hostile, deteriorating political party so desperately trying to survive its enemy from within (The Radical Left Wing Progressive Socialist Democrats-the Squad, etc.) and the mass media’s hate for a successful, non-pork-barrel owing, believer in God Almighty President our current situation would be entirely different! Those entities mentioned here are the reason we are in the shut-down we are with the scared believing the original false narrative forcing actions not really wanted by the Administration but is left with little choice which is additionally fueled by the panic world-wide.


The testing that is now being implemented is very accurate in identifying the COVID-19 virus and is being made more and more available as I write this commentary.


Get on a reputable web-site, find the daily white house report and read the facts concerning what President Trump has done and is doing to address what the world has created as a pandemic likened to the “black plague” when medicine and doctors were primitive and vaccines, testing and health precautions did not exist, come on folks, get a grip! Most of those infected have the flu, not a flesh eating monster that kills all it comes in contact with. Just take precautions and follow the protocol that is now being asked of you and this too will pass. Don’t panic buy and don’t forget your daily prayers.


I am a US Army veteran, former WA State police officer and former Cal’ State disaster assistance responder so I have been there done that, be prudent, be cautious, perform good hygiene, don’t panic, do not hoard, do not panic buy and use “COMMON SENSE” in all you do on a daily basis. If sick stay home, if that illness worsens then seek a medical clinic otherwise treat your symptoms as you would with any similar flu, cold and cough while at home.


The current national shutdown was unnecessary based on just the COBID-19, however the surrounding panic and public reaction worldwide exacerbated/escalated the national/international response to its’ current status. It is both unfortunate and fortunate in that the world’s Nations are talking and cooperating with one another and those Nations that aren’t are basically Iran and China. They have been less than forthcoming with accurate reporting with the Iranian religious leaders as despicable as ever in claiming COVID-19 is a tool/weapon to be used by Jihadists to take down the infidel. These so-called religious leaders are telling their infected to spread the weapon now at their disposal. You know what I wish for them, sorry, not very Christian of me but they need to stop!


Be safe and prudent, use common sense and you will be fine.
