David Waldman, handling the KITM microphone with only his toes for the time being, carefully ushers in a new week:
Coronavirus is a huge PR problem for Donald Trump, although Trump projects only a couple million dead, and most wouldn’t have voted for him anyhow. Greg Dworkin reminds us that coronavirus doesn’t care about your happy talk, and the the market cares even less about Donald’s.
While Trump is BS-ing, are we mitigating or containing? You can deny reality until you are blue in the face, but an information bubble will only protect you for so long. Emerald City Comic Con, SXSW Austin, and Connecticut state universities and colleges do their part to flatten the curve. Schools should close before it’s too late. North Korea has a lot of sick people now, as Italy locks up and pulls down the shade.
Btw, the virus is SARS-CoV-2, the disease, COVID-19. You can just call it “Pompeo”.
