I'm not going to use panic as a point, but with what Trump is wanting to do with the payroll tax cut to 0%, that's not the best way to handle an incoming recession caused by a virus panic and economic slowdown. Every state is handling it differently. NY quarantined an entire region for example. Other states are just watching at the moment. I get it's not going to be some massive plague that kills a large amount of people, but when national and state governments aren't on the same page, they are setting themselves up for a diplomatic nightmare. Also what are you implying by saying "The government cant hold your friggin hands"? Are you trying to say that we should let them do nothing to contain the virus? The panic caused everyone to over prepare so it's not like nobody is taking proper precautions. People are either following quarantine or not as well. We can't shut life down as a precaution nationwide as well. From the way things look, I think they need to be honest to people, get on the same page, and develop a strong plan instead of a rushed one like they all have been recently. I don't see how you can't see that we are responding to this so sluggishly. Unless you're in denial like a lot of people are, this thing is going to kill a lot more at risk people than it should.
While parts of them are BS like their opinion parts, which like any news source are, there are a few valid points in there. You'd be surprised if I happened to find a CNN article and pull a quote from it that chances are you wouldn't be able to identify the source unless I told you. You have to look at all angles to get real facts, not twisted ones or completely fabricated ones. That involves using several sources of all sides.
