It wasn't to downplay the seriousness of what is happening. It wasn't to minimize the deaths. It was simply to place things in perspective for people who are acting like death is a novelty. It isn't. Over 2.5 million people die each year in this country. 1

Full quarantine of NYC, but not necessarily of, say, Boise Idaho. Expand In a way, by leaving things up to the governors and mayors, this IS the approach we are taking. (You can argue whether some of the state and local measures are too weak or over the top.). And Trump is doing what the President should do in this situation: encouraging reasonable precautions, while considering the short and long-term costs of a general shutdown. What we really need is more reliable data about the virus so that we can truly understand how it works and how great a risk we would be taking by re-opening certain segments of the economy and society. The alarmism and panic being promoted by the MSM is distinctly unhelpful in this regard. Edited March 31, 2020 by mannc 4
